What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Major Adverse Event Rate : Count and Percentage of Patients Who Experienced at Least One MAE

    Composite of major adverse events (MAE) defined as cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, new need for renal replacement therapy, severe bleeding, re-intervention for study device related complications or on the previously implanted study device, and major access site and vascular complications requiring intervention at 30 days.

    Time frame: 30 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Device Success : Count and Percentage of Patients Who Experienced Device Success

    Device is deployed as intended and the delivery system is successfully retrieved as intended at the time of the patient's exit from the cardiac catheterization laboratory.

    Time frame: Intraprocedural

  2. Procedure Success: Count and Percentage of Patients Who Experienced Procedural Success

    Device success with evidence of TR reduction as evidenced by a relative reduction in EROA of ≥ 30% from baseline to discharge and without the need for a surgical or percutaneous intervention prior to hospital discharge.

    Time frame: Discharge (2-8 days)

  3. Clinical Success: Count and Percentage of Patients Who Experienced Clinical Success

    Procedural success without MAEs at 30 days. (MAEs: cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, new need for renal replacement therapy, severe bleeding, re-intervention and major access site and vascular complications)

    Time frame: 30 days
