Study Summary
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
Inclusion Criteria:
Subject is ≥ 18 and <85 years
Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) ≥3+ based upon echocardiography, as assessed byindependent core laboratory using a 5-grade classification (mild (1), moderate (2),severe (3), massive (4), torrential (5)). Trace and no TR is considered 0)29
Symptomatic, NYHA Class II-IV
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 30%
Subject adequately treated based upon medical standards
Subjects are at high risk for open heart surgery
Subject provided written, informed consent before investigation enrollment
Subject approved by the Subject Screening Committee Anatomical Inclusion Criteria (measured by CT)
Right femoral vein diameter > 9mm
Tricuspid valve diameter < 55 mm
RV length > 45 mm
Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects will be excluded from the investigation if fulfill any of the following criteria:
Cardiac anatomy deemed not suitable for the Cardiovalve TR system as evaluated (byCT)
Venous peripheral anatomy or any spinal anatomy that is unsuitable for CardiovalveTR implant delivery (by CT)
Primary tricuspid disease that may interfere with Cardiovalve implantation
Severe right ventricular failure (by Echo core lab adjudication)
Significant coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous or surgical intervention
Severe systolic pulmonary arterial pressure, pASP > 2/3 systemic BP with PVR > 5Wood units after vasodilator challenge
Presence of any known life threatening non-cardiac disease that will limit thesubject's life expectancy to less than one year
Cerebrovascular event (stroke, TIA) within the past 3 months
Active endocarditis or history of mitral/tricuspid endocarditis within 3 months orinfection requiring antibiotic within 2 weeks before index procedure
Subject has significant other sided valvular heart disease which requires treatment (e.g. mitral regurgitation or stenosis, or aortic regurgitation or stenosis)
Documented primary coagulopathy or platelet disorder, including thrombocytopenia (absolute platelet count <90k)
Documented evidence of significant renal dysfunction (eGFR<30 ml/min/1.73m2) or anyform of dialysis at time of screening within 30 days
Untreatable hypersensitivity or contraindication to any of the following: allantiplatelets, all anticoagulants, nitinol alloys (nickel and titanium), bovinetissue, glutaraldehyde, contrast media, or Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)
Subjects unsuitable for implantation due to thrombosis of the lower venous system orpresence of a vena cava filter
Evidence of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) ≤ 1 month (30 days)
Liver cirrhosis > Child-Pugh Class A
Psychiatric or behavioral disease including known alcohol or drug abuser that islikely to impair compliance with protocol
Pregnant, lactating or planning pregnancy within next 12 months
Requirement for antibiotic treatment within the last 48 hours
Surgical or interventional procedure planned within 30 days prior to index procedure
Refractory heart failure requiring advanced intervention (i.e. left ventricularassist device, transplantation) or UNOS Status 1 heart transplant or priororthotropic heart transplantation.
Prior Tricuspid valve surgery or transcatheter tricuspid valve procedure that mayinterfere with the Cardiovalve device. Valve in a valve procedure is excluded.
Modified Rankin Scale > 4 disability
Implant or revision of any rhythm management device (CRT or CRT-D) or implantablecardioverter-defibrillator within 30 days prior to index procedure
Acutely decompensated heart failure (i.e. hemodynamically unstable or requiring IVinotrope) at the time of screening
Severe COPD or continuous use of home oxygen
Hgb < 9 g/dL at screening
The subject has contraindication against a transesophageal echo (TEE) during theprocedure that cannot be replaced by other imaging.
Currently participating in an investigational drug or another device investigationwhich has not reached its primary endpoint
Subjects with >2 leads or with any lead that may interfere with Cardiovalveprocedure or device
