Detailed Description
The clinical trial was designed as a prospective, multicenter, single group assignment study. The participants with moderate to severe and severe mitral valve regurgitation will receive a transapical beating-heart mitral valve repair surgery using MitralStitch mitral valve repair system after signed the informed consent. The follow-up will be conducted after 30 days, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months of the operation.
The following conditions evaluate the performance of the system and the safety and efficiency of using MitralStitch mitral valve repair system in treating patients with severe mitral regurgitation.
The none occurrence of these conditions will be approved as the main validity index: death, mitral valve related surgery without mitral valve failure and moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (MR > 2+). The secondary validity index was technical success rate, instrument success rate, surgical success rate, cardiac function improvement and quality of life improvement. And the safety evaluation indicators were assessed by the incidence of major adverse events, adverse events, serious adverse events, and device defects.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The success rate [1 year]
Combined incidence of freedom from: death, surgery for Valve Dysfunction, and MR > 2+ (moderate to severe (3+) or severe (4+) mitral regurgitation) at 12 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The instant procedural success [Immediately after repair]
Technical success is defined as the absence of death, the successful implantation of the device and complete retraction of the delivery system without any need for emergency surgery or secondary intervention (including device related and surgical approach related
- The success of the repair system [12 months]
The success rate of the device is defined as the successful delivery and implantation of the device, and the successful withdrawal of the implanted parts after the completion of the release, without any technical failure or complications related to the device.
- The success of the surgery [1 month]
Surgical success was defined as the success of the instrument, MR 2+, and no major adverse events related to the instrument or operation occurred during the follow-up period after the implantation of the instrument.
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) class [12 months]
NYHA grading was used to evaluate the cardiac function status of subjects
- Living quality [12 months]
Postoperative SF-12 was used to evaluate the quality of life of the subjects
- Incidence of major adverse events(MAE) [12 months]
MAE definition: Any complications related to devices or surgeries, including but not limited to: death, emergency surgery, severe cardiac tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis or operation, hemorrhage, stroke related to operation.
