About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a novel paired-ring mitral annuloplasty sizing system in humans.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
All patients scheduled for mitral repair surgery
Age 18 years or older
Disqualifiers
Adults unable to consent,
Pregnant women and prisoners.
Emergency operations and those patients in whom mitral repair is not performed in a meaningful way, requiring mitral replacement instead, will be excluded.
Presence of acute endocarditis infection during the initial screening process
Trial population
Patients undergoing mitral valve repair.
Trial design
Cohort
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
Annuloplasy ring sizing device
DeviceA single time use of a novel sizing tool for mitral valve repair surgery (used ONLY in an observational capacity - this device does NOT influence decision-making during the conduct of the operation in any way).
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Mitral leaflet coaptation length.
Direct measurement of mitral leaflet coaptation length performed with the sizer in position, performed in mm using surgical (disposable) ruler.
Post-procedure, echocardiography measurements - mitral coaptation length.
Indirect measurement of mitral leaflet coaptation length (mm), using standard intraoperative trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) images (measurements performed postoperatively based on archived images).
