- Prevalence of MR ≤ 2+ and Hierarchical Comparison of Randomized Device and Randomized Control Groups [Cardiovascular Death, Number of Heart Failure Hospitalizations, Improvement in 6 MWT Distance (in Meters) and KCCQ (Number of Points Improved)]. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Hierarchical comparison of device and control groups (for randomized groups): MR ≤ 2+ and cardiovascular death, number of heart failure hospitalizations, improvement in 6 MWT distance (in meters) and KCCQ (number of points improved).
- Number of Participants With Major Adverse Events (MAE) [Device Group Only] [ Time Frame: 30 days ]Overall rate of device and procedure related Major Adverse Events (MAEs) through 30 days post procedure (including death, stroke, myocardial infarction, pericardial effusion requiring drainage, left circumflex coronary artery injury requiring intervention, mitral valve reintervention, and access site and vascular complications requiring intervention
- Secondary Safety Endpoints [Device Group Only] [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
Components will be calculated with 95% confidence intervals
- Death
- Stroke
- Myocardial infarction
- Pericardial effusion requiring drainage
- Mitral valve reintervention
- Access site and vascular complications requiring intervention
- Left circumflex coronary artery injury requiring intervention
- Need for a new permanent pacemaker
- Secondary Endpoints Through 1 Year (Powered for Randomized Arms Only) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
The following key secondary efficacy endpoints will be tested in comparison to control in a hierarchical order to preserve statistical power.
- MR ≤ 1+
- NYHA Class
- Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)
- 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT)
- SF-36v2 Health Survey (SF-36)
- Heart Failure Hospitalizations
- Cardiovascular mortality
- Device Success [ Time Frame: 30 days ]Device is deployed as intended and the delivery system is successfully retrieved as intended at the time of the patient's exit from the cardiac catheterization laboratory (per device analysis).
- Procedural Success [ Time Frame: 30 days ]Device success with evidence of MR reduction to ≤ MR2+ at discharge and without the need for a surgical or percutaneous intervention prior to hospital discharge (per patient analysis).
- Clinical Success [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
Procedural success with evidence of MR reduction ≤ MR2+ and without MAEs* at 30 days (per patient analysis).
*Major adverse events (MAE) defined as death, stroke, myocardial infarction, pericardial effusion requiring drainage, left circumflex coronary artery injury requiring intervention, mitral valve reintervention and access site and vascular complications requiring intervention.
