Study Description

Brief Summary:

The Cardiovalve system is a replacement valve delivered through a transfemoral access and transseptal approach and is intended for symptomatic patients with Mitral regurgitation for whom surgical options are not feasible.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Mitral Regurgitation	Device: Cardiovalve transfemoral Mitral valve system	Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

The Cardiovalve system is a replacement valve delivered through a transfemoral access and transseptal approach and is intended for symptomatic patients with Mitral regurgitation for whom surgical options are not feasible.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the CardiovalveSystem with its associated procedure, and observe the device performance in reducing mitral regurgitation Data collected in this clinical study will include 30-day safety and performance of the device and delivery system, and long-term clinical outcomes over a follow-up of 2 years.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Cardiovalve treatment; Patients that implanted with the Cardiovalve device	Device: Cardiovalve transfemoral Mitral valve system; Cardiovalve System, comprised of: 1) Cardiovalve Implant; 2) Cardiovalve Delivery System (DS); 3) Cardiovalve Accessories.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Freedom from major device or procedure related serious adverse events [ Time Frame: 30 days ]

   Freedom from major device or procedure related serious adverse events:

   F. Stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury (includes new dialysis) H. Severe hypotension, worsening of heart failure, or respiratory failure requiring intravenous pressors or invasive or mechanical heart failure treatments such as ultrafiltration or hemodynamic assist devices, including intra-aortic balloon pumps or left ventricular or biventricular assist devices, or prolonged intubation for >48 h.

   I. Any valve-related dysfunction, migration, thrombosis, or other complication requiring surgery or repeat intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Technical success [ Time Frame: Intraoperative ]
   Technical success; delivery and deployment of the device in the correct position and retrieval of delivery catheter, without significant mitral stenosis, LVOT obstruction or paravalvular MR documented by intraoperative imaging Number of patients for whom the device was successfully implanted (per MVARC definitions) Number of patients with reduction in MR grade from Baseline Number of patients with improvement in NYHA class from baseline Number of patients with increase distance walked in the 6MW test from baseline.
