Edwards PASCAL CLASP IID/IIF Pivotal Clinical Trial

To establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) who have been determined to be at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery by the Heart Team, and in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) on guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT)

The objective of this prospective, randomized, blinded clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Carillon Mitral Contour System in treating heart failure with functional regurgitation (FMR).

Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Using the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the Treatment of Symptomatic Mitral Regurgitation

Prospective, controlled, multicenter clinical investigation with four trial cohorts: Randomized, Non-repairable, Severe Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) and Severe Mitral Annular Calcification Continued Access Plan (MAC CAP). Subjects in the Randomized cohort were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the trial device or to the MitraClip system. Subjects in the Non-repairable, Severe MAC, and Severe MAC CAP cohorts were receive the trial device. The objective of the Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Using the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the Treatment of Symptomatic Mitral Regurgitation (SUMMIT) was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the treatment of patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation or for patients with symptomatic mitral valve disease due to severe mitral annular calcification. This randomized controlled trial would provide the opportunity to evaluate the safety and clinical benefits of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System compared to the MitraClip System in patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation, within approved MitraClip indications. In addition, the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System would be evaluated in patients with severe mitral annular calcification who are at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery. Patients who were not suitable for mitral valve surgery for reasons other than severe mitral annular calcification and were also not suitable for transcatheter repair with MitraClip, would be enrolled in the Non-repairable cohort. Subjects would be seen at screening, pre- and post-procedure, discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and annually through 5 years.

Secondary Mitral Regurgitation Treatment With MitraClip and Assessment by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

This is a multi-center, prospective, observational study designed to evaluate the impact of LV myocardial fibrosis extent assessed by CMR on LV reverse remodeling and clinical outcomes post TEER. The target sample will be up to 125 patients enrolled to achieve 100 evaluable at 6 months of follow-up. Enrollment will occur at up to eight centers.

Sacubitril-Valsartan in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Secondary Mitral Valve Regurgitation

The main objective of this study is to assess the hemodynamic effects of sacubitril-valsartan in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and at least moderate atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR), using a combination of cardiopulmonary exercise testing and stress echocardiography (referred to as CPETecho) at baseline and after six months of therapy. The patients included in this study will be randomly assigned to receive sacubitril-valsartan as an adjunct to standard medical care, as opposed to adhering solely to the standard of care which involves sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA).

Phenotypic Classification of FMR With CMR

The goal of the current research is to develop personalized risk prediction for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) patients through explainable unsupervised phenomapping enriched with advanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging biomarkers, and to determine the CMR predictors of reverse remodeling following modern therapies for FMR. The prospective study entails aiming to recruit 360 adult patients (ages \>18 years) with EF 10-50% and FMR RF\> 20%, who are clinically referred for CMR evaluation. Patients who enroll in our study will be referred for optimization of mGDMT and will undergo follow-up CMR studies at 6months. NICM patients who are fully medically optimized with significant FMR at the time of the baseline CMR and are referred for Mitraclip treatment will undergo follow-up CMR 6 months from Mitraclip intervention. NICM patients referred for mGDMT optimization, but have persistent or progressive FMR at the time of 6 month follow-up CMR and referred for Mitraclip therapy, will undergo a 2nd follow-up CMR 6 months from Mitraclip therapy.

Bio Refine for Functional Mitral Regurgitation - a Safety & Feasibility Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Bio Refine Coriofix System and determine if it might help in treatment of functional mitral regurgitation. The study will include patients with symptomatic secondary mitral regurgitation in whom mitral surgery cannot and/or will not be offered as a treatment option (the risk is prohibitive). Potential patients will be screened to confirm that all inclusion/exclusion criteria are met, with final eligibility confirmation on day of procedure. All enrolled subjects who went through the procedure will be followed during the procedure to hospital discharge. Additional follow up time points are scheduled at 30 days, 6 months and 12 months post procedure.

Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation and Tricuspid Regurgitation

A prospective, observational cohort study designed to identify clinical phenotypes and evaluate predictors \& outcomes of functional mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation in patients with atrial fibrillation. Participant will under go: * Baseline echocardiography * Cpex Echocardiography * Blood test: BNP * 1 year follow up Echocardiography Participants will be stratified into three subgroups: * Atrial Functional MR * Atrial Functional TR * Mixed MR \& TR

Safety and Effectiveness Study of SQ-Kyrin System for Functional Mitral Regurgitation in EU

The investigation objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Transcatheter Mitral Valve Clip Delivery System and Steerable Guide Catheter in the population of FMR patients and the accessories devices when used in conjunction with the Transcatheter Mitral Valve Clip Delivery System and Steerable Guide Catheter.

CAP-TEER: CerebrAl Protection During Transcatheter Edge-to-edge Repair

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve (M-TEER) is a well-established endovascular treatment option for patients with severe mitral regurgitation who are at high risk for surgery-related complications. However, the procedure carries a risk of clinically overt strokes and imaging-detected brain lesions, which may potentially be mitigated through the use of cerebral protection devices. This prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of cerebral protection device, compared to a control group undergoing unprotected M-TEER.

NHLBI DIR Transcatheter Mitral Cerclage Annuloplasty Early Feasibility Study

This research protocol tests a new technique and devices that we have developed to treat functional mitral valve regurgitation, called transcatheter mitral valve cerclage annuloplasty, otherwise known as "cerclage". Functional mitral valve regurgitation is a condition caused by damaged heart muscle involving the left ventricle which results in mitral valve leakage. This leakage causes heart failure (breathlessness and lack of energy especially when walking or exercising, and hospital admissions for fluid buildup). This is an early feasibility study (EFS) evaluation of special devices, permanently implanted in the heart, to perform mitral cerclage annuloplasty. Mitral cerclage annuloplasty is a catheter procedure performed under X-ray and ultrasound guidance without surgery. The cerclage devices compress the mitral valve like a purse-string. The cerclage device has a special feature that prevents a coronary artery from getting squeezed as part of this purse-string. The protocol has been changed to allow patients who have mitral valve regurgitation despite prior Mitra-Clip treatment, and to allow patients who have symptomatic heart failure with mild mitral regurgitation.
