Valcare Medical AMEND Trans-Septal System is a mitral valve repair annuloplasty ring implanted in a trans-catheter method intended for correction of mitral regurgitation. It is designed to be used as standalone therapy or in combination with other repair treatments.
Objective: The purpose of this clinical investigation, the AMEND TS Early Feasibility Study, is to evaluate the safety and functionality of the AMEND Trans-Septal System for annuloplasty as treatment of mitral regurgitation. Device Description: The AMENDTM Trans-Septal System consists of a semi-rigid annuloplasty ring (implant), a delivery system (catheter), and accessories (Stage, Introducer sheath). The device is delivered through a catheter using a trans-septal approach and implanted in the beating heart on the atrial surface of the mitral valve annulus similar to surgical annuloplasty rings. Indications for Use: The device is indicated to treat patients with mitral regurgitation using a percutaneous direct annuloplasty approach Number of subjects and sites: Up to fifteen (15) subjects will be enrolled to the study procedure in up to 7 investigational centers in the U.S. and Canada Study Population: Subjects with symptomatic moderate-to-severe (3+) or severe (4+) functional mitral regurgitation that is anatomically amenable to transcatheter mitral annuloplasty. Study Duration: 5 years

The ability to deploy the annuloplasty ring in a percutaneous fashion affords an improved safety profile for surgical candidates, as well as surgical style solution for those patients that are at elevated risk for surgery due to comorbidities and advanced age. This early feasibility study allows treatment of higher risk surgical candidates with a surgical- level annuloplasty repair therapy by the AMEND™ Implant.

NOT_YET_RECRUITINGSafety Endpoint: Composite of death (all-cause), stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), or non-elective cardiovascular surgery for device related complications at 30 days.
The definitions of the SAEs are based on the recommendation of the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC) (Stone, 2015).
Time frame: 30 days
Secondary Endpoint: Performance Endpoint
Technical success of ring delivery, implantation and delivery system retrieval determined at the end of implantation procedure based on the following: * Absence of procedural mortality * Freedom from emergency surgery or corrective treatment related to the device or access procedure * Successful access, delivery to the LA, and retrieval of the delivery system * Correct positioning of the implant evaluated by echocardiography after procedure completion * Adequate implant quadrant fixation evaluated by echocardiography after procedure completion
Time frame: 30 days
