Experimental: NeoChord DS1000 Artificial Chordae Delivery System
Subjects randomized to the experimental group will undergo the NeoChord implantation
|
Device: NeoChord beating heart mitral valve implantation
The NeoChord DS1000 procedure is performed in five steps: (1) Device Preparation; (2) Left Ventricular Access; (3) Leaflet Capture and Verification; (4) Suture Deployment and (5) Suture Closure. The sutures are placed via a ventriculotomy 2-4 cm postero-lateral from the apex of the left ventricle via thoracotomy. The procedure is performed on a beating heart through a 2 to 3 inch right antero-lateral thoracotomy, then one to five Goretex neochordae are introduced with a transcatheter delivery system through the apex of the heart, into the left ventricle, and fixed on the free edge of the prolapsed leaflet. This is performed with transesophageal echocardiographic guidance. |

- Combined incidence of Death from any cause, redo surgery for valve dysfunction, and moderate-severe (3+) or severe (4+) mitral regurgitation [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Proportion of patients with any major adverse events [ Time Frame: 30 days ]Major adverse events defined by death all cause, Post-operative myocardial infarction, Reoperation for failed surgical repair or valve replacement, Any reoperation or intervention for adverse events (Bleeding…), stoke, renal failure, wound infection, septicemia, ventilation > 24 hours, transfusion ≥ 2 units
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Mitral valve reoperation free survival [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- mitral regurgitation > 2+ [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Freedom from rehospitalization for heart failure [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Change in functional evaluation (NYHA) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
