The goal of this early feasibility clinical trial is to test a new device called the MitraFix® Transcatheter Mitral Valve System. It aims to learn if the device is safe and if it can help adults who have a severe leaky heart valve (mitral regurgitation). This study is for people who are at high risk for traditional open-heart surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the MitraFix system safe for participants? Can the device be successfully placed in the heart? Does the device help reduce the valve leak and improve daily life? Participants will: Receive the MitraFix valve through a small tube inserted into a vein in the leg. Visit the clinic for heart tests, walking tests, and health checks for up to one year after the procedure.

RECRUITINGDevice Success Rate
evice success is defined as the patient being alive and free from stroke, with the implanted valve in the intended position and functioning properly, without the need for re-operation or re-intervention due to device-related complications.
Time frame: 30 days post-procedure
Technical Success Rate
Percentage of participants achieving technical success, defined as successful access, delivery, and deployment of the device, and successful retrieval of the delivery system.
Time frame: Intra-operative (At the time of procedure)
Procedural Success Rate
Percentage of participants achieving procedural success, typically defined as technical success without the occurrence of major device- or procedure-related serious adverse events.
Time frame: 30 days post-procedure
Valve Performance Assessment
Evaluated by echocardiography, including the severity of residual mitral regurgitation, transvalvular pressure gradient, and the presence/severity of paravalvular leak.
Time frame: Up to 12 months post-procedure
Change in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class
Assessment of clinical improvement in heart failure symptoms based on the NYHA classification (Class I to IV, where a lower class indicates better function).
Time frame: Up to 12 months post-procedure
Change in Quality of Life Assessed by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) Overall Summary Score
Quality of life is evaluated using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). The KCCQ Overall Summary Score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life.
Time frame: Up to 12 months post-procedure
Change in 6-Minute Walk Distance
The change in the total distance (in meters) a participant can walk on a flat surface in 6 minutes, used to evaluate exercise capacity.
Time frame: Up to 12 months post-procedure
Rate of Hospitalization for Heart Failure
Number of participants requiring hospital admission or an emergency/urgent care visit for the treatment of worsening heart failure.
Time frame: Up to 12 months post-procedure
Incidence of Major Adverse Events (MAEs)
Number of participants experiencing major adverse events, such as all-cause mortality, stroke, life-threatening bleeding, or acute kidney injury.
Time frame: Up to 12 months post-procedure
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Number of participants experiencing any device-related or procedure-related adverse events and serious adverse events.
Time frame: Up to 12 months post-procedure
