CARDINAL Adjustable Annuloplasty Ring System For Treatment of Mitral Regurgitation

October 29, 2021 updated by: Edwards Lifesciences

Valtech Cardinal Adjustable Semi-Rigid Annuloplasty Ring System For Treatment of Mitral Valve Regurgitation in Open Surgical Repair

Annuloplasty device for repair of mitral valve regurgitation with option to adjust device post implant off pump, to optimize correction of mitral regurgitation. Unlike conventional annuloplasty ring, the Cardinal system offers the clinician the opportunity to make adjustments after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. Adjustability is expected to reduce the number of patients leaving the operating room with residual regurgitation after mitral valve repair.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is a candidate for mitral valve repair.
  • Patient able and willing to return to the implant center for follow-up visits.
  • Able and willing to give informed consent and follow protocol procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Severe organic lesions with retraction of chordate tendineae, severly fibrotic and immobile leaflets, severely deformed subvalvular apparatus.
  • Evolving endocarditis or active endocarditis in the last 3 months.
  • Heavily calcified annulus or leaflets.
  • Congenital malformation with limited valvular tissue
  • Patient requires mitral valve replacement.
  • Previously implanted prosthetic mitral valve or annuloplasty ring/band.
  • Patient requires aortic or pulmonic valve replacement or repair.
  • Patient is pregnant (urine HCG test result positive) or lactating.
  • Patient has a major cardiac or non-cardiac disease, which in the investigator's experience produces an unacceptable surgical risk.
  • Life expectancy of less than twelve months.
  • Patient is participating in concomitant research studies of investigational products

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Valtech Cardinal Mitral Annuloplasty Ring
All subjects enrolled in the study are implanted with the Valtech Cardinal Mitral Annuloplasty ring.
Annuloplasty device repair of mitral valve regurgitation with option to adjust device post implant off pump, to optimize correction of mitral regurgitation. Unlike conventional annuloplasty repair, the Cardinal system offers the clinician the opportunity to make adjustments after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. Adjustability is expected to reduce the number of patients leaving the operating room with residual regurgitation after mitral valve repair.
Other Names:
  • Valtech Cardinal Adjustable ring
Evaluate the performance and safety of the investigational adjustable annuloplasty ring device for the treatment of mitral regurgitation, with option to adjust on and off-pump.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Subjects with Valtech Cardinal Mitral Heart Valve Device Technical Success
Time Frame: Day of surgery
Technical success of the implantation of the Cardinal Ring defined as the ability to size the annulus, place the sutures on the ring, lower the ring onto the valve, adjust the ring to the required size and disconnect the adjustment tool.
Day of surgery
Percentage of Subjects with Successful Off Pump Adjustment of their Valtech Cardinal Mitral Annuloplasty Ring
Time Frame: Day of surgery
The technical feasibility of "off cardiac bypass pump" adjustment during surgery, when required of the Valtech Cardinal Mitral Heart Valve Annuloplasty Ring.
Day of surgery
Subject's Mitral Valve Regurgitation (MR) Post-procedure as Compared to Baseline
Time Frame: At the end of the procedure on the day of surgery compared to baseline.
The percentage of subjects that had a reduction of their pre-operative mitral regurgitation grade as compared to the mitral regurgitation grade at the end of the procedure with the Valtech Cardinal Mitral Heart Valve Annuloplasty Ring.
At the end of the procedure on the day of surgery compared to baseline.
Subject's Mitral Valve Regurgitation (MR) at Discharge as Compared to Baseline
Time Frame: Day of discharge compared to baseline.
