Early Feasibility Study of the CardioMech Mitral Valve Repair System (MVRS)
Rochester, MN
The purpose of the clinical study is to obtain clinical data on the CardioMech Mitral Valve Repair System (MVRS) in patients diagnosed with moderate to severe (≥ 3+) or severe (≥ 4+), symptomatic, degenerative mitral regurgitation with prolapse or flail of the P2 leaflet segment, and who are determined to be at intermediate or high-risk for mitral valve surgical repair, as assessed by the multi-disciplinary heart team.

Mitral Valve Prolapse in the Setting of Previous Open Heart Surgery
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes of MitraClip vs open mitral valve repair in patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) due to mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in those who have already undergone a previous open heart surgery.

Evaluating the Benefit of Concurrent Tricuspid Valve Repair During Mitral Surgery
Rochester, MN
The purpose of the research is to determine whether repairing a tricuspid valve (TV) in patients with mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR), at the time of planned mitral valve surgery (MVS), would improve the heart health of those who receive it compared to those who do not. At this point, the medical community is split in their opinion on whether surgeons should routinely repair mild to moderate TR in patients who are undergoing planned mitral valve surgery, and this study will answer this question.
