About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Mitral Leaflet Prolapse focused on measuring Heart disease, Device, Mitral valve, leaflet prolapse, Heart valve disease, Cardiovascular disease, Neochordae

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age > 18 years
  • Degenerative mitral insufficiency with mitral leaflet prolapsed , who are candidates for mitral valve repair according to ESC or ACC/AHA guidelines.
  • Patient able and willing to return to the implant center for follow-up visits
  • Able and willing to give informed consent and follow protocol procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inadequate echocardiographic window for transthoracic imaging
  • Severe organic lesions with retraction of chordate tendineae, severly fibrotic and immobile leaflets, severely deformed subvalvular apparatus.
  • Evolving endocarditis or active endocarditis in the last 3 months.
  • Heavily calcified annulus or leaflets.
  • Congenital malformation with limited valvular tissue
  • Patient requires mitral valve replacement.
  • Previously implanted annuloplasty ring/band.
  • Patient requires aortic or pulmonic valve replacement or repair.
  • Patient is pregnant (urine HCG test result positive) or lactating.
  • Patient has a major cardiac or non-cardiac disease, which in the investigator's experience produces an unacceptable surgical risk.
  • Life expectancy of less than twelve months.
  • Patient is participating in concomitant research studies of investigational products.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Technical success rate
ability to: Anchor the system in the papillary muscle; Suture the leaflet; Release the V-Chordal system and extract the delivery system with no lesions to adjacent tissue. Technical feasibility of chordal length adjustment. When required, adjustment of chords after weaning from CPB
Efficacy
The ability of the V-Chordal System to correct leaflet prolapse of the treated segments as assessed by echordiography. Correction is defined as leaflet displacement <2 mm above the annulus in the septolateral view.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Incidence of Major Adverse Events (MAE).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The V-Chordal System is a new technology for mitral repair. The Valtech V-Chordal system, consists in the ability to adjust (elongate or shorten) the neochordae "off-pump" to achieve an optimal coaptation. The adjustment mechanism allows overcoming the main problem of chordal replacement by enabling accurate sizing of the chords.
