Conditions

Mitral Regurgitation

Brief summary

To evaluate the long-term safety and performance of the HARPOON™ MVRS for use in patients presenting with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation due to posterior leaflet prolapse in the post-market phase.

Detailed description

This trial is a single arm, prospective, multi-center, non-randomized and open-label post-market study that will evaluate subjects for up to 5 years post treatment.

Interventions

Repair of the chordae tendinae in the mitral valve.

Inclusion criteria

1. Subject is \> 18 years old 2. Presence of severe MR as read on a transthoracic echocardiographic study 3. Mitral leaflet coaptation surface is sufficient to reduce mitral regurgitation without undue leaflet tension (approximate leaflet to gap ratio of 2:1) based on the judgment of the patient eligibility committee and the operating surgeon 4. Degenerative mitral valve disease with mid-segment P2 prolapse 5. Patient is able to sign informed consent and able to return for follow-up and is capable of participating in all testing associated with this clinical investigation

Exclusion criteria

1. Patient is of the age where further growth is expected 2. Active endocarditis 3. Left ventricular or left atrial appendage thrombus 4. Severe mitral annular and/or leaflet calcification 5. Cannot tolerate procedural anticoagulation or post-procedure antiplatelet regimen 6. Mitral stenosis 7. Functional Mitral Valve disease 8. Previous mitral valve replacement surgery 9. Fragile or thinning apex 10. Contraindications to transoesophageal echocardiography (atlantoaxial disease, severe generalized cervical arthritis, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, significant dysphagia and odynophagia, has received extensive radiation to the mediastinum) 11. Patient is pregnant or lactating

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Subjects With Procedural Success During the First 30 Days

Subject's procedural success at 30 days post-treatment, as measured by: Technical success (defined as implantation of at least three chords, leaving the operating room and no conversion to open heart surgery) with reduction of MR to less than or equal to mild and the absence of major device or procedure-related SAEs.

Time frame: 30 days

Population: Subjects who completed a 30-day follow-up. The outcome is reported for subjects where data is available.

Percentage of Subject's With Freedom From All-cause Mortality, Disabling Stroke and Life-threatening Bleeding

Subject's freedom from all-cause mortality, disabling stroke and life-threatening bleeding at 30 days post-implant.

Time frame: 30 days

Population: This outcome is reported as a Kaplan Meier estimate for subjects who were attempted to be treated in the trial where data is available. The number of participants analyzed at the 30-day timepoint is equivalent to the number of patients at risk at that timepoint.
