To demonstrate non-inferiority of the Trilogy Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) System compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for treatment of subjects with clinically significant native aortic regurgitation (AR)
The Investigational Device is the TricValve Transcatheter Bicaval Valve System (also referred to as the TricValve System). The bioprosthesis is available in two different diameters for each model (SVC and IVC) specifically designed to adapt to the anatomic features of the superior vena cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC). The SVC and IVC valves are single use, sterile devices provided in two sizes each, for a total of four valve sizes. The valves are designed for heterotopic caval implantation without perturbing the native tricuspid valve. The valves are made of bovine pericardium leaflets sutured on a nitinol self-expanding stent system. The SVC and IVC valves are provided pre-mounted in two separate TricValve Delivery Systems, and are individually packaged into two separate boxes, provided sterile and ready to use. The two TricValve Delivery Systems deliver the two valves percutaneously into the SVC and IVC via femoral vein access using a transvenous approach.
The TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valve System is a bicaval transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement system, which includes the TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valve for superior vena cava (SVC) and the TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valve for inferior vena cava (IVC). The TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valves are pre-mounted into the TricValve® Delivery System which is used for percutaneous access and delivery of the TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valve in the vena cava. The system is a single use, sterile device compatible with all the valve sizes. The prostheses are implanted percutaneously into the inferior and superior vena cava without disturbing the native tricuspid valve. The device is made of bovine pericardium leaflets sutured on a nitinol self-expanding stent system.

This multinational, non-interventional, investigator-initiated, retrospective study aims to investigate outcomes of patients, who underwent mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) for primary mitral regurgitation (PMR).
This study is a prospective observational chart review. The aim of the study is to evaluate tricuspid regurgitation volume using 3D volumetric assessment as an accurate method for tricuspid regurgitation severity in comparison to VCA.
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized trial comparing mitral valve (MV) transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) to surgical repair (1:1 ratio) in patients with primary, degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR). The trial will be conducted in the U.S., Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom, and is designed as a strategy trial. Thus, all devices legally marketed for TEER of primary degenerative MR in a particular country are eligible to be used in this trial.
The purpose of this study is to understand the clinical impact of non-surgical and surgical treatment in atrial fibrillation induced tricuspid regurgitation (AFTR).
The purpose of this research is to assess the severity of tricuspid regurgitation (a disorder in which the tricuspid valve in the heart does not close tight enough) using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The aim of this pilot imaging study is to investigate the underlying changes in myocardial oxidative metabolism, myocardial inflammation and alterations in extracellular volume in patients with chronic compensated moderate-severe primary mitral regurgitation (PMR). The PET tracer \[11C\] acetate will be used to image and quantify myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) in hearts of the study participants. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) using a gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) will be performed to assess for and quantify expansion of myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) and myocardial inflammation. We will enroll a total of 12 participants, nine of whom will be patients with chronic, compensated asymptomatic moderate-severe PMR evaluated at the UAB Cardiovascular Disease and Structural Valve Clinic and three normal control subjects.

The study proposes to develop a phenylephrine protocol to be used during transesophageal echocardiography, whereby intravenous phenylephrine would be used to increase afterload with the intent to mimic the awake hemodynamic profile and variation that occurs with normal physical activity. The expectation is to see changes in severity of Mitral Regurgitation (MR) grade with increasing afterload, which in turn can provide more accurate quantification of MR severity to assist in clinical decision making.
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the Millipede Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System in subjects with functional mitral regurgitation
This study is to evaluate the safety and technical performance of the Cardiovalve Transfemoral System for tricuspid valve replacement. Data collected in the clinical study will include 30-day safety and performance of the device and delivery system, and long-term clinical outcomes over a follow-up of 5 years.
This longitudinal cohort study evaluates the relationship of myocardial tissue markers characteristics assessed by cardiac MRI, with clinical measures of symptoms and functions in adults with primary mitral regurgitation. Participants are followed conservatively or may choose to undergo surgical repair at the discretion of their clinical team.
Current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines recommend that patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation be considered for mitral valve surgery. There remains a debate within the cardiology community regarding the appropriate management of patients who remain asymptomatic. In this study the investigators will perform longitudinal follow-up data with cardiac MRI to inform the prophylactic surgery vs. close follow-up debate and to better define the natural history of this condition. The investigators hypothesize, that in the majority of patients mitral regurgitation will not worsen overtime, left ventricular hemodynamics will remain stable, exercise capacity will not decline, and symptoms will not worsen during follow-up. This finding would have a significant impact on the current recommendations for treatment in patients with mitral regurgitation by supporting a conservative management approach.
The primary treatment for patients determined to have severe aortic or mitral regurgitation is surgical repair or replacement their valves. The most commonly used tool to quantify the severity mitral and aortic regurgitation is echocardiography. Studies have shown that echocardiography may have significant limitations in quantifying regurgitant volume. MRI has recently been shown to easily and reproducibly quantify regurgitation. To better understand how to accurately quantify severity of regurgitation the investigators propose this study with the following aims: 1) compare MRI to echocardiography in the evaluation of regurgitant volume in patients with aortic or mitral regurgitation and 2) to assess which technique is better at predicting the response of the left ventricle to valve surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of tricuspid valve repair at the time of LVAD implantation for patients presenting with moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation. The study will be a randomized trial for patients presenting for LVAD implantation to either tricuspid valve repair or no tricuspid valve repair. The data will be analyzed as both an intention to treat analysis as well as an "as treated" analysis with the primary outcome being rates of right ventricular dysfunction post LVAD implantation. Tricuspid valve repair for these patient is currently being done for some patients, without any strong data to either support such practice or negate it.
This is a non-randomized, prospective, multi-center Early Feasibility Study of the AccuCinch® Ventricular Restoration System in Patients with Prior Mitral Valve Intervention (PMVI) and Recurrent Mitral Regurgitation.
Prospective, controlled, multicenter clinical investigation with four trial cohorts: Randomized, Non-repairable, Severe Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) and Severe Mitral Annular Calcification Continued Access Protocol (MAC CAP). Subjects in the Randomized cohort will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the trial device or to the MitraClip system. Subjects in the Non-repairable, Severe MAC, and Severe MAC CAP cohorts will receive the trial device. The objective of the Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Using the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the Treatment of Symptomatic Mitral Regurgitation (SUMMIT) is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the treatment of patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation or for patients with symptomatic mitral valve disease due to severe mitral annular calcification. This randomized controlled trial will provide the opportunity to evaluate the safety and clinical benefits of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System compared to the MitraClip System in patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation, within approved MitraClip indications. In addition, the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System will be evaluated in patients with severe mitral annular calcification who are at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery. Patients who are not suitable for mitral valve surgery for reasons other than severe mitral annular calcification and are also not suitable for transcatheter repair with MitraClip, will be enrolled in the Non-repairable cohort. Subjects will be seen at screening, pre- and post-procedure, discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and annually through 5 years.
The investigators are interested in determining the best surgical technique to correct functional mitral regurgitation, as there is currently not one technique that is established to work better than the other. The technique used in current clinical practice is undersizing mitral annuloplasty (UMA), in which a prosthetic ring is implanted onto the mitral valve to correct the leakage. Though widely adopted, durability of the repair is less, as 58% of the patients present with recurrent FMR within 2 years. There are no specific algorithms to predict who might have UMA failure, but research indicates that some geometric indices might be strong predictors. The investigators are interested in testing the hypothesis that, elevated lateral inter-papillary muscle separation (IPMS) is a predictor of post-UMA recurrence of FMR at 12 months. In the first part of this study, the study team will measure lateral IPMS before surgery and relate to post-surgery FMR severity at discharge/30 days, 6 months and 12 months. A relatively newer technique is papillary muscle approximation (PMA), in which a suture draws together the two muscles that connect the mitral valve to the heart muscle prior to performing UMA. This reduces the lateral inter-papillary muscle separation (IPMS) and is expected to improve the durability of UMA. In the second part of this study, the investigators will perform PMA and UMA together and determine if FMR severity is reduced at discharge/30 days, 6 months and 12 months.
