Summary
This trial will test how safe and effective a new valve is for people who are at high risk for complications from open heart surgery.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. Participants should have symptoms classified as NYHA II-IV and cannot be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or enrolled in other conflicting studies. They must not have allergies to nitinol or contrast media that can't be managed with medication.
What is being tested?
The AltaValve Early Feasibility Study is testing the safety and performance of the AltaValve device in treating mitral valve regurgitation without conventional open-heart surgery. It's a prospective, single-arm study across multiple centers focusing on high-risk patients.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, potential risks may include those commonly associated with heart procedures such as bleeding, infection, allergic reactions to materials or medications used during the procedure, and possible impact on heart function.
