Study Summary

This investigation is a continuation for "TARGET" investigation and its purpose is to further demonstrate the efficiency and safety of the Cardiovalve system in the treatment of subjects with tricuspid regurgitation. The same subject population will be included, while applying the clinical and scientific knowledge accumulated in the TARGET investigation.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects will be excluded from the investigation if fulfill any of the following criteria:

  1. Cardiac anatomy deemed not suitable for the Cardiovalve TR system as evaluated (byCT)

  2. Venous peripheral anatomy or any spinal anatomy that is unsuitable for CardiovalveTR implant delivery (by CT)

  3. Primary tricuspid disease that may interfere with Cardiovalve implantation

  4. Severe right ventricular failure (by Echo core lab adjudication)

  5. Significant coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous or surgical intervention

  6. Severe systolic pulmonary arterial pressure, pASP > 2/3 systemic BP with PVR > 5Wood units after vasodilator challenge

  7. Presence of any known life threatening non-cardiac disease that will limit thesubject's life expectancy to less than one year

  8. Cerebrovascular event (stroke, TIA) within the past 3 months

  9. Active endocarditis or history of mitral/tricuspid endocarditis within 3 months orinfection requiring antibiotic within 2 weeks before index procedure

  10. Subject has significant other sided valvular heart disease which requires treatment (e.g. mitral regurgitation or stenosis, or aortic regurgitation or stenosis)

  11. Documented primary coagulopathy or platelet disorder, including thrombocytopenia (absolute platelet count <90k)

  12. Documented evidence of significant renal dysfunction (eGFR<30 ml/min/1.73m2) or anyform of dialysis at time of screening within 30 days

  13. 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)

  14. Subjects unsuitable for implantation due to thrombosis of the lower venous system orpresence of a vena cava filter

  15. Evidence of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) ≤ 1 month (30 days)

  16. Liver cirrhosis > Child-Pugh Class A

  17. Psychiatric or behavioral disease including known alcohol or drug abuser that islikely to impair compliance with protocol

  18. Pregnant, lactating or planning pregnancy within next 12 months

  19. Requirement for antibiotic treatment within the last 48 hours

  20. Surgical or interventional procedure planned within 30 days prior to index procedure

  21. Refractory heart failure requiring advanced intervention (i.e. left ventricularassist device, transplantation) or UNOS Status 1 heart transplant or priororthotropic heart transplantation.

  22. Prior Tricuspid valve surgery or transcatheter tricuspid valve procedure that mayinterfere with the Cardiovalve device. Valve in a valve procedure is excluded.

  23. Modified Rankin Scale > 4 disability

  24. Implant or revision of any rhythm management device (CRT or CRT-D) or implantablecardioverter-defibrillator within 30 days prior to index procedure

  25. Acutely decompensated heart failure (i.e. hemodynamically unstable or requiring IVinotrope) at the time of screening

  26. Severe COPD or continuous use of home oxygen

  27. Hgb < 9 g/dL at screening

  28. The subject has contraindication against a transesophageal echo (TEE) during theprocedure that cannot be replaced by other imaging.

  29. Currently participating in an investigational drug or another device investigationwhich has not reached its primary endpoint

  30. Subjects with >2 leads or with any lead that may interfere with Cardiovalveprocedure or device

Study Description

"TARGET 2.0": Safety and Performance of the Cardiovalve Tricuspid valve replacement system in the treatment of subjects with tricuspid regurgitation- investigation: Cardiovalve Tricuspid Valve Replacement system (hereinafter referred to as Cardiovalve TR system) The system has not been granted CE mark at this time The Cardiovalve implant consists of three bovine pericardium tissue leaflets, self-expanding dual nitinol frame, and fabric. A total of 24 anchoring points affix the device to the native tricuspid annulus.

The Delivery System is intended to deliver the valve in the crimped position via the transfemoral venous approach. It comprises of a catheter assembly and handles. The handles knobs facilitate valve alignment and positioning in the native valve, and control the capsule expansion and release of the Cardiovalve implant.

The Cardiovalve TR Valve Replacement System is intended for reduction of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with symptomatic severe or greater secondary tricuspid regurgitation despite being treated with medical therapy for whom tricuspid valve replacement is deemed appropriate by a Heart Team. The system percutaneously delivers the Implant to the tricuspid valve via femoral vein access This investigation is a continuation for "TARGET" investigation and its purpose is to further demonstrate the efficiency and safety of the Cardiovalve system in the treatment of subjects with tricuspid regurgitation. The same subject population will be included, while applying the clinical and scientific knowledge accumulated in the TARGET investigation. This investigation will support the submission for obtaining marketing approval.
