Brief Summary

An early feasibility study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the PLAR Implant and Delivery System to treat severe degenerative mitral regurgitation and to gather preliminary data on its performance thereby providing guidance for future clinical development. The study is a single-arm registry with the last follow-up visit at 5 years post-intervention. The study will enroll up to 10 patients at up to 4 centers in North America.

Conditions

Degenerative Mitral Valve Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Incidence of all-cause mortality

  Primary safety outcome

  30-days

• Incidence of change from baseline to moderate or less mitral regurgitation (Grade 2+ or less) as evaluated by 2D TTE

  Primary performance endpoint

  30-days

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Rate of major safety events as defined by MVARC2

  30 days, at 6 and 12 months, and at 2 - 5 years post-intervention

• Technical success per MVARC2 definitions

  Technical success is measured at exit from OR

• Procedure success per MVARC2 definitions

  Procedure success is measured at 30 days post-intervention

• Device success rate per MVARC2 definitions (all must be present for success)

  Device success is measured at 30 days, at 6 and 12 months, and at 2 - 5 years post-intervention

• Patient success rate per MVARC2 definitions (all must be present for success)

  Patient success is measured at 12 months post-intervention

• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• years of age or older

You may not qualify if:

• Severe tricuspid regurgitation
• Severe aortic stenosis or insufficiency
• Severe mitral annulus calcification
• Diseased mitral anterior leaflet such as flail / prolapse/ heavy calcification
• Implanted vena cava filter
• Femoral veins with severe angulation and calcification
• Contraindication for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or MDCT scan.
• Active infection or endocarditis
• Previous mitral valve surgery
• Prior orthotopic heart transplantation
