Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?The objective of this trial is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the study device in subjects with degenerative mitral valve disease receiving a mitral valve repair without cardiopulmonary bypass (treatment group) when compared to subjects receiving mitral valve repair using standard surgical techniques with cardiopulmonary bypass (control group).
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment NeoChord DS1000 System for mitral valve regurgitation?

Research shows that the NeoChord DS1000 System, which uses a minimally invasive technique to repair the mitral valve, has been found to be a safe and effective treatment for mitral valve regurgitation. Studies indicate promising outcomes with minor complications, suggesting it is a feasible alternative to traditional surgery.

Is the NeoChord DS1000 system safe for humans?

The NeoChord DS1000 system has been shown to be generally safe in humans, with studies indicating it is a feasible procedure with minor complications and promising outcomes for treating mitral valve regurgitation.

34567
How is the NeoChord DS1000 treatment different from other treatments for mitral valve regurgitation?

The NeoChord DS1000 treatment is unique because it is a minimally invasive procedure that repairs the mitral valve by implanting artificial chords through a small incision in the chest, without stopping the heart or using a heart-lung machine. This approach allows for a quicker recovery and fewer complications compared to traditional open-heart surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults with moderate to severe degenerative mitral valve regurgitation who are suitable for standard surgical repair. Candidates should have specific conditions of the heart's mitral valve, like anterior leaflet prolapse, and must not have had prior mitral surgery or other cardiac procedures within the last 3 months.

Inclusion Criteria

I have a specific type of heart valve issue with a single abnormal blood flow detected.
I am a candidate for heart valve repair surgery with a heart-lung machine.
My heart valve leak is moderate to severe.
My heart valve condition involves specific segments with a unique leakage pattern.

Exclusion Criteria

I need additional heart-related procedures.
I have had surgery on my mitral valve before.

Participant Groups

The study compares a new device called NeoChord DS1000, which repairs the heart's mitral valve without needing to stop the heart and use a bypass machine, against traditional open-heart surgery that does require stopping the heart and using bypass.

[2022]Minimally invasive techniques of mitral valve (MV) repair have been increasingly used in recent years.

[2018]Transapical implantation of artificial chordae using the NeoChord system (NeoChord Inc, Minneapolis, MN) is an emerging beating-heart technique for correction of mitral regurgitation (MR) through a minimally invasive left minithoracotomy. The purpose of the study was to describe the anesthetic management and procedural success of patients undergoing this procedure.

[2023]The NeoChord DS1000 system implants artificial neochords transapically, through a left mini-thoracotomy to treat degenerative mitral valve regurgitation (MR). Performed without cardiopulmonary bypass, neochord implantation and length adjustment is guided by transesophageal echocardiography. We describe imaging and clinical outcomes for a single center case series using this innovative device platform.
Transapical off-pump mitral valve repair with NeoChord implantation: A systematic review. [2021]Mitral valve repair (MVr) is the gold standard for the treatment of degenerative mitral valve regurgitation (MR). The recently introduced NeoChord DS1000 has gained increasing recognition as a feasible, potentially safe, and effective procedure with minor complications and promising outcomes. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of the published literature that discusses the technical feasibility and outcome of transapical off-pump MVr with NeoChord DS1000 device implantation in the treatment of degenerative MR.

[2022]This study evaluated the safety and efficiency of the NeoChord DS1000 system (NeoChord, Inc, Minneapolis, Minn), a device designed to deliver artificial chordae tendineae (neochords) in a beating heart with minimally invasive techniques through left anterolateral minithoracotomy.

Procedures applying the NeoChord device (NeoChord Inc, St. Louis Park, MN) have proven to be safe and feasible in selected patients requiring mitral valve repair due to a leaflet prolapse or flail. However, its use for redo procedures after conventional surgical repair has not been well established yet.
