Study summary

The ChordArt System is a novel catheter based technology for mitral chordal replacement that enables controlled implantation of artificial mitral chords to treat mitral regurgitation with a minimally invasive approach. The implant is designed to allow transfemoral antegrade implantation.

Read the detailed description

ChordArt utilizes a minimally invasive catheter based approach by which multiple artificial chordae are precisely positioned into the papillary muscle and then secured to the pathological leaflet.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Arm

    The ChordArt System is intended for chordal replacement in patients with mitral valve insufficiency due to leaflet prolapse or flail delivered through a catheter based technology for mitral chordal replacement via a small incision in the thorax.

    Device: ChordArt System

Interventions

  • DeviceChordArt System

    The ChordArt System is intended for chordal replacement in mitral valve insufficiency due to leaflet prolapse or flail. One or more ChordArt System may be utilized within the same intervention for optimal mitral valve treatment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. All-cause mortality

    The frequency of all-cause mortality

    Time frame: At 30 days from implant procedure

  2. Major adverse events

    The frequency of pre-determined major adverse events

    Time frame: At 30 days from implant procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. Technical Success

    The technical success will be measured by the absence of procedural mortality, successful access, delivery of the ChordArt implant \& retrieval of the ChordArt delivery system as well as successful ChordArt deployment, positioning and freedom from emergency surgery or re-intervention related to the device or access procedure.

    Time frame: End of Implantation Procedure

  2. Device Performance

    The device performance will be measured by the reduction of Mitral Regurgitation by Echocardiography.

    Time frame: At 30 days
