Transventricular Off-pump Mitral Valve Repair
Sponsor: Johns Hopkins University
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness (usefulness) of an investigational technique used to repair the mitral valve for patients with mitral regurgitation due to a defective valve leaflet. This procedure is called trans-ventricular off-pump mitral valve repair (TRANSOM) and it repairs the mitral valve by replacing some of the cords that support the mitral valve. This type of repair is minimally-invasive since it is performed through a small incision and avoids making a breast-bone-splitting incision.

TRANSOM
TRANSOM is a minimally-invasive treatment that involves making a small incision between the ribs of the left chest, inserting a thin tube directly into the heart while it is beating, and placing the suture material onto the edges of the valve flaps so that the valves come together properly.
