Safety and Performance Study of the Harpoon Mitral Valve Repair System

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Mitral Valve Insufficiency
Mitral Valve Regurgitation
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Interventions
Device: Harpoon Artificial ePTFE Chords
Registration Number
NCT03285724
Lead Sponsor
Edwards Lifesciences
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Harpoon Medical Device. It is anticipated, that the Harpoon Medical Device will provide advantages over current surgical interventions including: 1) a small minimally invasive incision, 2) no sternotomy, 3) no cardiopulmonary bypass, 4) no aortic manipulation, 5) a direct path to the valve plane, 6) performed on a beating heart, 7) real-time TEE-guided ePTFE cordal length adjustment and 8) less complicated procedure that is teachable and adoptable.

Detailed Description

The device is designed to reduce the degree of mitral regurgitation by delivering and anchoring artificial chordae tendineae to the affected mitral valve leaflet(s) in a beating heart.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects With Procedural Success During the First 30 DaysProcedure, discharge, and 30 days

To demonstrate that the Harpoon Medical Device performs as designed and can successfully implant one or more ePTFE artificial cords on either the anterior, posterior, or both leaflets of the mitral valve via a small left thoracotomy on the beating heart and reduce mitral regurgitation from "severe" to less than or equal to "moderate" at the conclusion of the procedure and at 30 days post-procedure.

Number of Subjects With Freedom From Serious Adverse Events (SAE) During the First 30 DaysProcedure, Discharge and 30 Days

Procedure freedom from Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) during the procedure, at discharge, and at 30 days follow-up shall be tracked and recorded.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subject's Severity of Mitral Regurgitation Over Time6 Months, 12 Months, and 24 Months

Severity of mitral regurgitation at 6 months, 12 months and 24 months follow-up shall be tracked and recorded

Subject's Freedom From Serious Adverse Events Over Time6 Months, 12 Months, and 24 Months

Freedom from Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) at 6 months, 12 months and 24 months follow-up shall be tracked and recorded
