Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Symptomatic New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-IV.
  • Moderate-to-severe or severe MR (3+) despite optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) as determined by an independent Echo Core Lab.

Exclusion Criteria (Abbreviated List):

  • Inability to understand the trial or a history of non-compliance with medical advice.
  • Inability to provide signed Informed Consent Form (ICF).
  • History of any cognitive or mental health status that would interfere with participation in the trial.
  • Currently enrolled in any other pre-approval investigational trial (does not apply to long-term post-market trials unless these trials might clinically interfere with the current trial endpoints (e.g., limit use of trial-required medication, etc.)).
  • Female subjects who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant within the trial period.
  • Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to heparin, or warfarin without adequate alternative medications.
  • Known hypersensitivity to nitinol (i.e., nickel allergy) that cannot be adequately medicated.
  • Known hypersensitivity to contrast media that cannot be adequately medicated.
  • Evidence of current left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 25%.
  • Concurrent medical condition with a life expectancy of less than 12 months.
  • Transcatheter aortic repair or replacement within 90 days prior to the index procedure.
  • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 90 days prior to the index procedure.
