NCT03842397

Brief Summary

The optimal surgical approach in functional mitral regurgitation (MI) was questioned in favour for prosthetic replacement due to the reduced risk of recurrent MI . However, adjustable mitral rings may provide an alternative . In this first-in-man trial, a novel balloon-adjustable mitral-ring was assessed regarding clinical safety and feasibility. 5 patients will be enrolled according to the inclusion/ exclusion criteria and subsequently implanted with the study device. Study visits will be performed preoperatively, perioperatively, at discharge, at 30 days, 3 months and 6 months. Primary outcome parameter will be morbidity and mortality at 30 days following implantation.

Study Arms (1)

Implanted Patients

EXPERIMENTAL

Implantation of Kephalios Device 1

Device: Kephalios Device 1

Interventions

The Kephalios Device 1 is an adjustable annuloplasty ring, to be implanted by open surgery, having a hollow structure that comprises a flat rigid ring surrounding a deformable cage. The unique feature of the Kephalios Device 1 is that its annular shape and dimension can be finely adjusted percutaneously by an external actuator (three-balloon catheter) independently in the three areas corresponding to P1, P2 and P3

Implanted Patients

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients
  • with symptomatic severe Mitral Regurgitation (Carpentier's classification Type I or II P2) or in asymptomatic subjects with preserved Left Ventricle function and new onset of atrial fibrillation or pulmonary hypertension;
  • with EuroScore II \< 4;
  • with Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction ≥ 55%;
  • with normal coronary angiogram (no significant lesions);
  • in satisfactory condition, based on the physical exam and investigator's experience, with a life expectancy above one year after the intervention;
  • willing to sign the informed consent;
  • willing to undergo all medical follow-up, echocardiography examinations and laboratory tests planned for the clinical investigation.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients
  • of age \< 18 years;
  • who are pregnant;
  • nursing mothers;
  • who require undergoing MRI examination;
  • involved in any other clinical investigation for drugs or devices;
  • with previous cardiac surgery or diaphragmatic lesion or previous hepatic surgery;
  • needing acute intervention;
  • with active endocarditis (or having had active endocarditis in the last three months);
  • with active myocarditis;
  • with heavily calcified mitral annulus or mitral valve anatomy with a high risk of valve replacement instead of valve repair;
