Study arms

  • Experimental
    NeoChord DS1000 Artificial Chordae Delivery System

    Subjects randomized to the experimental group will undergo the NeoChord implantation

    Device: NeoChord beating heart mitral valve implantation

  • Other
    Control

    traditional mitral valve repair performed under cardiac arrest

    Procedure: Control

Interventions

  • DeviceNeoChord beating heart mitral valve implantation

    The NeoChord DS1000 procedure is performed in five steps: (1) Device Preparation; (2) Left Ventricular Access; (3) Leaflet Capture and Verification; (4) Suture Deployment and (5) Suture Closure. The sutures are placed via a ventriculotomy 2-4 cm postero-lateral from the apex of the left ventricle via thoracotomy. The procedure is performed on a beating heart through a 2 to 3 inch right antero-lateral thoracotomy, then one to five Goretex neochordae are introduced with a transcatheter delivery system through the apex of the heart, into the left ventricle, and fixed on the free edge of the prolapsed leaflet. This is performed with transesophageal echocardiographic guidance.
