Mitral valve

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to provide evidence of safety and effectiveness of the study valve. The rationale is to offer a replacement mitral valve for patients with anatomy that is too small for the currently commercially available valves ranging in size from 16mm to 37mm. 20 subjects were enrolled as part of the IDE cohort and an additional 3 were enrolled under continued access.

Detailed description

The study is a single arm, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center clinical investigation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the 15mm MHV in subjects five years or less of age with a diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning mitral heart valve. The objective will be evaluated by assessing valve-related adverse events, subject survival, subject growth, and echocardiogram assessment of hemodynamic function through the five year follow-up visit as long as the valve remains implanted.

Recruitment details

A total of 23 subjects were enrolled at 15 investigational sites. Twenty (20) subjects were enrolled at 14 sites in the IDE cohort. Following completion of enrollment in the IDE cohort, 3 subjects were enrolled at 3 sites in the CAP cohort. All subjects enrolled in the study were followed for up to 5 years post-implant, or until the valve was retired/explanted, whichever occurred first. Enrollment was completed in the IDE cohort on 03 March 2017 and in the CAP cohort on 12 January 2018.

Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Kaplan-Meier Percentage of Participants Who Remained Alive or Had Valve Explanted Due to Anatomical Growth

The Kaplan-Meier method is a statistical method that summarizes the rate at which subjects survive or are free from a specified event. The method uses whether or not a subject had the specified event and their time to the specified event or the end of their follow-up to calculate the rate. Kaplan-Meier event rates with 95% confidence intervals would be calculated for overall survival. All follow-up time through 365 days post implant would be considered. If a subject discontinues prior to one year post implant, all available data would be included.
