About
The Munich Trascatheter Mitral Valve System is intended for beating heart, mitral valve replacement in patients with a diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning mitral valve. Access is provided through the Femoral Vein and transseptal approach by means of a 27Fr catheter.
The bioprosthetic valve consists of a self-expanding, tri-leaflet, dry bovine-pericardial valve. The dry tissue allows the valve to be conveniently pre-loaded. The valve is available in three sizes and has been designed to reduce the complexity of implantation in comparison to other TMVR systems.
Full description
This is a prospective multicenter clinical investigation designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Munich TMVR System in a population of patients with moderate to severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation, who are not suitable for surgical treatments.
Patients who meet all of the study inclusion criteria, will be treated with the Munich valve. After the intervention, patients will be followed up closely for 12 months. Long term safety and efficacy data will be collected annually up to 5 years.
