Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Medtentia Annuloplasty Ring (MAR)

All eligible patients underwent surgical mitral valve repair using annuloplasty device - Medtentia Annuloplasty Ring (MAR)

Device: Mitral valve repair using the Medtentia Annuloplasty Ring (MAR)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Safety: All-cause Mortality Occurring in the Time From Surgery Through Hospital Discharge. [Time from surgery through hospital discharge, up to 7 days.]

  2. Performance: Percentage of Participants With Improvement by at Least 2 Mitral Regurgitation Classes From Baseline (SC) to Three Months (V03) as Measured by Trans-thoracic Echocardiography (TTE). [Time from baseline through V03 (3 months)]

    Success will be defined as an improvement in at least 2 degrees in mitral regurgitation (MR) class as described in the ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease (Bonow, et al., 2008).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Safety: 30-day Mortality and Mortality at 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 1.5 Years and 2 Years. [30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 1.5 years and 2 years after surgery]

    Mortality rates determined both for all-cause mortality and for related deaths only. For the former, the causality status will be determined by the Investigator, and all deaths that are clearly unrelated to the device, the surgery or the underlying medical condition will be excluded from the analysis.

  2. Safety: The Occurrence, Frequency and Timing of Treatment-emergent Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACEs). [From surgery to end of study (2 years)]

    MACE is defined as stroke and clinically significant myocardial infarction (MI), from surgery to end of study.

  3. Safety: The Occurrence, Nature and Frequency of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs), in Particular Severe Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADEs). [From surgery to end of study (2 years).]

    All the adverse events reported were non-device related.

  4. Safety: The Occurrence, Nature and Frequency of Device Deficiencies and Adverse Device Effects (ADEs). [From surgery to end of study (2 years).]

  5. Safety: The Occurrence, Frequency and Nature of Abnormalities in the Period From Surgery Through Follow-up (Detailed List in Description Field). [From surgery to end of study (2 years).]

    The occurrence, frequency and nature of abnormalities in any of the following: physical examination vital signs electrocardiography (ECG) echocardiography (ECHO) Laboratory tests Chest X-rays (taken only when clinically indicated)

  6. Performance: Mitral Regurgitation (MR) as Seen in Trans-esophageal Echocardiography (TEE) Performed During Surgery Before and After Annuloplasty. [Day of surgery visit (V01).]

    Success will be defined as no or only residual mitral regurgitation (MR).

  7. Performance: Percentage of Participants With Improvement by at Least 2 Mitral Regurgitation Classes at Each Follow-up Visit (V04-V06) of the Improvement in MR From Screening, as Measured by Trans-thoracic Echocardiography (TTE). [V06 (24 months)]

    Measurement analysis at 24 months after successful MAR implantation.

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Exploratory: Change in the Mitral Regurgitation (MR) Parameters, as Measured Using TTE. [From screening to end of study (up to 2 years)]

    Change from screening at each follow-up visit in the following MR parameters, as measured using TTE: Left ventricular inner dimension systole and diastole assessment by trans-thoracic echocardiography (the dimension of inner edge to inner edge, perpendicular to the long axis of the left ventricle, at the level of the mitral valve leaflet tips, measured at end-systole and end-diastole) Coaptation height

  2. Exploratory: Duration of the Key Stages of the Annuloplasty Procedure. [Day of surgery visit (V01)]

    Duration of the following key stages of the annuloplasty procedure: MAR implantation time (beginning with the measurement of the annulus size and ending with the completion of the last suture, but not including the time needed to measure leaflet thickness) MAR rotation time Suturing time (from start of annulus suturing until last knot) Aortic clamp time Cardiac arrest time

  3. Exploratory: Changes From Screening in NYHA Classification at All Follow-up Visits Except Discharge. [At screening and at each follow-up visit (except for discharge visit, up to 2 years).]

  4. Exploratory: Thickness of the Anterior Leaflet Segment A2 and the Posterior Scallop P2 of the Mitral Valve (MV) Leaflets, as Measured With the Dedicated Medtentia Leaflet Measurement Tool. [Day of surgery visit (V01)]

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details All patients were enrolled at Helsinki University Central Hospital from June 2011 to April 2014. During Stage 1 (2011-2012) and Stage 2 (2013-2016) MAR was implanted for 12 patients. 11 of 24 consented patients did not receive MAR due to non-anatomical fit (majority in Stage 1); for 1 patient MAR was replaced before the operation was completed.
Pre-assignment Detail Patients qualifying for mitral valve repair surgery according to guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) and meeting pre-operative selection criteria. Successful implantation rate improved significantly during Stage 2 after sizing adjustment of the implant (Regular and Expanded).

Description

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
The leaflet measuring tool was designed to compress the leaflet between two jaws to measure the thickness. Due to soft tissue getting compressed between these two jaws the measure was not seen accurate, therefore this procedure was omitted in the study.

Adverse Events

Time Frame AEs documented from the point of surgery trough the follow-up (2 years).
Adverse Event Reporting Description Common episodes during surgery (e.g. blood loss) and postoperative (e.g. pain, nausea, normal bruising) that are not considered clinically relevant by the Investigator should not be captured as AEs unless the event is worse than would normally be expected. Cases of excessive or abnormal bleeding or blood loss should be reported as AEs. Normal surgery-related laboratory test fluctuations common after surgery and not usually considered clinically significant are not considered to be AEs.

Limitations/Caveats

The study was terminated prematurely. The smaller than planned patient group size did not allow testing the study hypothesis in full. Due to the limited number of patients only descriptive statistics were used.
