Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
COMPLETED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
35
Inclusion Criteria
  • Study patient is at least 18-years old
  • Severity of FMR: ≥ Moderate (i.e., 2+, according to Stone et al Clinical Trial Design Principles and Endpoint Definitions for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement: Part 1: Clinical Trial Design Principles. A Consensus Document from the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium11; and 2003 ASE Guidelines for grading mitral regurgitation10)
  • Ejection Fraction: ≥20 to ≤60%
  • Symptom Status: NYHA II-IV (i.e., ambulatory)
  • Treatment and compliance with optimal guideline directed medical therapy for heart failure for at least 1 month
  • Surgical risk: Subject is eligible for cardiac surgery (specific risk score or comorbidities should demonstrate high risk features, as determined by the Heart Team)
  • Completion of all qualifying diagnostic and functional tests and agrees to comply with study follow-up schedule
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients with significant organic mitral valve pathology (e.g. myxomatous degeneration, mitral valve prolapse or flail leaflets)
  • Myocardial infarction or any percutaneous cardiovascular intervention, cardiovascular surgery, or carotid surgery within 30 days
  • Prior surgical, transcatheter, or percutaneous mitral valve intervention
  • Untreated clinically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring revascularization
  • Hemodynamic instability: Hypotension (systolic pressure <90 mmHg) or requirement for inotropic support or mechanical hemodynamic support
  • Any planned cardiac surgery or interventions within the next 6 months (including right heart procedures)
  • NYHA class IV (i.e., non-ambulatory) or American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Stage D heart failure
  • Fixed pulmonary artery systolic pressure >70 mmHg
  • Severe tricuspid regurgitation (per ASE guidelines and graded by the Echo Core Lab)
  • Modified Rankin Scale ≥ 4 disability
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis, or any other structural heart disease causing heart failure other than dilated cardiomyopathy of either ischemic or non-ischemic etiology.
  • Anatomical pathology/constraints preventing appropriate access/implant of the AccuCinch® Ventricular Restoration System (e.g., femoral arteries will not support a 20F system)
  • Renal insufficiency (i.e., eGFR of <30ml/min/1.73m2; Stage 4 or 5 CKD)
  • Moderate or severe aortic valve stenosis or regurgitation or aortic valve prosthesis
  • Fluoroscopic or echocardiographic evidence of severe aortic arch calcification, mobile aortic atheroma, intracardiac mass, thrombus or vegetation
  • Active bacterial endocarditis

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
30-Day Safety30-day

Assess 30-day safety defined as device-related or procedure-related major adverse events (MAEs).

MAE is a composite of death; myocardial infarction; emergent conversion to surgery; stroke; major cardiac structure complication; major vascular complication; and heart failure-related hospitalization.
