Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age > 21 years at time of enrollment
  • Patient has provided informed consent, is willing and capable of participating in all testing, and agrees to return for all required post-procedure follow-up visits
  • Moderate-to-severe or severe (MR ≥ 3+) functional (secondary) mitral valve regurgitation
  • Symptomatic with mitral regurgitation (NYHA Class II, III, or ambulatory IV) despite maximally-tolerated guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) as determined by the local multidisciplinary Heart Team
  • Patient is suitable for transcatheter mitral valve repair as determined by the local multidisciplinary Heart Team and confirmed by the Eligibility Committee

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) > 75 mm
  • Acute hemodynamic decompensation
  • Known hypersensitivity or contraindications to necessary and routine medications including contrast compounds or components used in the CARLEN System that cannot be successfully pre-medicated, including nitinol, an alloy of nickel and titanium
  • Contraindicated for transesophageal echo (TEE)
  • Presence of other anatomical characteristics and/or significant comorbidities that in the judgement of the Investigator or Eligibility Committee precludes the subject from participation
  • Aortic valve disease requiring intervention or intervention
  • Severe or greater tricuspid regurgitation
  • Severe right ventricular dysfunction
  • Severe pulmonary hypertension
  • Presence of significant congenital heart disease
  • Planned or scheduled cardiac surgery within next 12 months
