Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Treatment Group
Subjects with degenerative mitral valve insufficiency treated with artificial chordae implanted using the NeoChord DS1000
|
Device: NeoChord DS1000
Trans-apical, beating heart repair of degenerative mitral valve insufficiency with artificial chordae implanted with the NeoChord DS1000 |
Active Comparator: Control Group
Subjects with degenerative mitral valve insufficiency treated with standard surgical mitral valve repair
|
Device: Surgical Mitral Valve Repair
Surgical repair of degenerative mitral valve insufficiency with cardiopulmonary bypass, and annuloplasty ring and some form of leaflet repair or artificial chordae. |
- Proportion of subjects free of Major Adverse Events (MAEs) in the treatment group when compared to subjects in the control group. [ Time Frame: Post-operative Day (POD) 30 ]
- Proportion of subjects free of Grade II, III or IV mitral regurgitation, mitral valve replacement or mitral valve reintervention in the treatment group when compared to subjects in the control group. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
