What is the Purpose of this Study?

The purpose of this study is to compare the risks and benefits of two procedures used to help patients with mitral valve regurgitation (MR). MR is a condition in which the heart valve does not close fully, and blood can then leak back into the left atrium instead of circulating to the rest of the body. The study will compare transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER- a catheter procedure for repairing the mitral valve that does not require surgery to open up the heart) and mitral valve repair surgery, an open-heart surgical procedure. Both treatments are well-established and regularly performed in patients who have MR. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the investigational catheter device used in the TEER repair procedure for all types of patients with MR. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either TEER or mitral valve repair surgery.


Eligibility

  • Clinical indication for MV intervention and anatomic candidate for both MV transcatheter edge-to-edge and surgical repair per local heart team assessment
