EFS of the CardioMech MVRS
EFS of the CardioMech MVRS
Safety and performance evaluation of the CardioMech Mitral Valve Repair System (MVRS) in
 patients with degenerative mitral valve regurgitation.
The purpose of the clinical study is to obtain clinical data on the CardioMech Mitral Valve
 Repair System (MVRS) in patients diagnosed with moderate to severe (≥3+) or severe (≥4+),
 symptomatic, degenerative mitral regurgitation and who are determined to be at intermediate
 or high surgical risk for mitral valve repair, as assessed by the site's multidisciplinary
 heart team.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Eighteen (18) years of age or greater

 -  Moderate to severe (≥3+) or severe (≥4+) mitral valve regurgitation (per American
 Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines) due to mitral valve prolapse or flail

 -  Intermediate or high surgical risk for mitral valve repair

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  History of rheumatic heart disease

 -  History of prior endocarditis

 -  History of prior repair or replacement of the mitral valve, annuloplasty or
 valvuloplasty or has a left atrial appendage closure device

 -  Severely calcified mitral leaflet or has evidence of calcification in the grasping
 area of the leaflets that would prevent leaflet anchor positioning and deployment

 -  Complex mechanism of MR (leaflet perforation, severe leaflet calcifications,
 commissural extension, commissural prolapse, multiple flail or prolapsing segments,
 cleft) present on required imaging
