Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Subjects ≥ 18 years of age.
  • 2. Subjects symptomatic New York Heart Association (NYHA) II-IV.
  • 3. Subjects with severe MR as documented by echo.
  • 4. Subjects who are at high risk for open-heart surgery as documented by the health care professional (e.g., Heart Team consisting of cardiac surgeon and interventional cardiologist in United States).
  • 1. Inability to understand the study or a history of non-compliance with medical advice.
  • 2. Unwilling or unable to sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
  • 3. History of any cognitive or mental health status that would interfere with study participation.
  • 4. Currently enrolled in any other pre-approval investigational study (does not apply to long-term post-market studies unless these studies might clinically interfere with the current study endpoints (e.g., limit use of study-required medication, etc.)).
  • 5. Female subjects who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant within the study period.
  • 6. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin, or Warfarin without adequate alternative medications.
  • 7. Known hypersensitivity to nitinol (i.e., nickel allergy) that cannot be adequately medicated.
  • 8. Known hypersensitivity to contrast media that cannot be adequately medicated.
  • 9. Evidence of current Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≤30% (where current is defined as the latest LVEF measurement completed within 90 days prior to the index procedure).
  • 10. Concurrent medical condition with a life expectancy of less than 12 months.
  • 11. Prior mitral valve repair/replacement (excluding prior surgical mitral valve repair, annuloplasty, or MitraClip not interfering with AltaValve placement).
