Study Description

Brief Summary:

The objective of this prospective, multi-center trial is to assess the effectiveness of the CARILLON Mitral Contour System in treating patients with moderate-to-severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation (aFMR)

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Functional Mitral Regurgitation; Atrial Fibrillation; Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation	Device: Carillon Mitral Contour System	Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

The AFIRE Trial is a prospective, multi-center clinical trial.

The centers will utilize pre-screening of existing medical records to identify potentially eligible subjects. Once informed consent has been obtained, the subject will undergo baseline assessments, which include: Transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and functional assessments (Six-Minute Walk Test, NYHA, and Quality of Life Questionnaires). Following final eligibility determination, eligible subjects will under the index procedure to implant the Carillon device (includes coronary sinus venogram). Subject will be discharged following one-night in-hospital stay and discharge assessments.

Subjects who have the Carillon implant procedure attempted but were not successfully implanted (Non-Implanted subjects) will be followed through discharge or resolution of safety events, whichever is longer, and then discharged from the trial.

Implanted subjects will have follow-up assessments performed at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months post index procedure. Follow-up assessments will include transthoracic echocardiography, Six-Minute Walk Test, and Quality of Life Questionnaires.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Implanted; Subjects successfully implanted with the Carillon Mitral Contour System	Device: Carillon Mitral Contour System; Eligible subjects will be implanted with the Carillon Device, utilizing the Carillon Mitral Contour System. The device is a permanent implant in the coronary sinus/great cardiac vein, designed to cinch the mitral annulus. The implant procedure is minimally invasive, conducted via catheter placement.; Other Names: Carillon; Carillon Device; Carillon Implant

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Change in mitral regurgitant volume (mL) associated with the Carillon device at 6 months post-implant, as compared to baseline [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
