About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Safety and Performance of the Medtentia Mitral Valve Repair System When Used in Adults Undergoing Mitral Valve Repair Surgery

The purpose of the trial is to demonstrate the safety and performance of the Medtentia Annuloplasty Ring (MAR) during mitral valve repair surgery. In addition, the trial aims to demonstrate that the MAR fulfills the requirements for mitral valve annuloplasty rings.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the MAR in patients with mitral regurgitation requiring either isolated mitral valve annuloplasty or mitral valve annuloplasty concomitantly with any of the following, either individually or in combination:

  • Tricuspid valve repair
  • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
  • Valve resection and chordae repair
  • Correction of atrial septal defect
  • Correction of patent foramen ovale
  • Ablation therapy for atrial defibrillation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety: All-cause Mortality Occurring in the Time From Surgery Through Hospital Discharge.

    Measured: Time from surgery through hospital discharge, up to 7 days.

  2. Performance: Percentage of Participants With Improvement by at Least 2 Mitral Regurgitation Classes From Baseline (SC) to Three Months (V03) as Measured by Trans-thoracic Echocardiography (TTE).

    Success will be defined as an improvement in at least 2 degrees in mitral regurgitation (MR) class as described in the ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease (Bonow, et al., 2008).

    Measured: Time from baseline through V03 (3 months)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Safety: 30-day Mortality and Mortality at 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 1.5 Years and 2 Years.

    Mortality rates determined both for all-cause mortality and for related deaths only. For the former, the causality status will be determined by the Investigator, and all deaths that are clearly unrelated to the device, the surgery or the underlying medical condition will be excluded from the analysis.

    Measured: 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 1.5 years and 2 years after surgery

  2. Safety: The Occurrence, Frequency and Timing of Treatment-emergent Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACEs).

    MACE is defined as stroke and clinically significant myocardial infarction (MI), from surgery to end of study.

    Measured: From surgery to end of study (2 years)

  3. Safety: The Occurrence, Nature and Frequency of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs), in Particular Severe Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADEs).

    All the adverse events reported were non-device related.

    Measured: From surgery to end of study (2 years).

  4. Safety: The Occurrence, Nature and Frequency of Device Deficiencies and Adverse Device Effects (ADEs).

    Measured: From surgery to end of study (2 years).

  5. Safety: The Occurrence, Frequency and Nature of Abnormalities in the Period From Surgery Through Follow-up (Detailed List in Description Field).

    The occurrence, frequency and nature of abnormalities in any of the following:

    • physical examination
    • vital signs
    • electrocardiography (ECG)
    • echocardiography (ECHO)
    • Laboratory tests
    • Chest X-rays (taken only when clinically indicated)

    Measured: From surgery to end of study (2 years).

  6. Performance: Mitral Regurgitation (MR) as Seen in Trans-esophageal Echocardiography (TEE) Performed During Surgery Before and After Annuloplasty.

    Success will be defined as no or only residual mitral regurgitation (MR).

    Measured: Day of surgery visit (V01).

  7. Performance: Percentage of Participants With Improvement by at Least 2 Mitral Regurgitation Classes at Each Follow-up Visit (V04-V06) of the Improvement in MR From Screening, as Measured by Trans-thoracic Echocardiography (TTE).

    Measurement analysis at 24 months after successful MAR implantation.

    Measured: V06 (24 months)
