ChordArt System for Mitral Regurgitation

Not Applicable
Conditions
Mitral Valve Insufficiency
Mitral Valve Repair
Mitral Regurgitation
Interventions
Device: ChordArt System
Registration Number
NCT03581656
Lead Sponsor
CoreMedic GmbH
Brief Summary

The ChordArt System is a novel catheter based technology for mitral chordal replacement that enables controlled implantation of artificial mitral chords to treat mitral regurgitation with a minimally invasive approach. The implant is designed to allow transfemoral antegrade implantation.

Detailed Description

ChordArt utilizes a minimally invasive catheter based approach by which multiple artificial chordae are precisely positioned into the papillary muscle and then secured to the pathological leaflet.

GroupInterventionDescription
ArmChordArt SystemThe ChordArt System is intended for chordal replacement in patients with mitral valve insufficiency due to leaflet prolapse or flail delivered through a catheter based technology for mitral chordal replacement via a small incision in the thorax.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Major adverse eventsAt 30 days from implant procedure

The frequency of pre-determined major adverse events

All-cause mortalityAt 30 days from implant procedure

The frequency of all-cause mortality

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Technical SuccessEnd of Implantation Procedure

The technical success will be measured by the absence of procedural mortality, successful access, delivery of the ChordArt implant \& retrieval of the ChordArt delivery system as well as successful ChordArt deployment, positioning and freedom from emergency surgery or re-intervention related to the device or access procedure.

Device PerformanceAt 30 days

The device performance will be measured by the reduction of Mitral Regurgitation by Echocardiography.
