This study is enrolling subjects with at least moderate-to-severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation to test a new investigational device for mitral regurgitation. A separate study cohort (MAC Cohort) will enroll subjects with at least moderate symptomatic mitral regurgitation combined with mitral stenosis in the presence of mitral annular calcification (MAC). The new investigational device is a mitral valve replacement called the Medtronic IntrepidTM Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR) System. The purpose of the TMVR device is to function similarly to a standard bioprosthetic (man-made) valve implant in that it allows blood to flow only in the forward direction, relieving mitral regurgitation. A standard valve implant, however, is sewn directly into the heart during surgery in which the chest is fully open, the patient is put on heart-lung bypass support and the heart is temporarily stopped to sew in the valve. The IntrepidTM TMVR device is intended to be placed through a less invasive procedure, without sewing, and without requiring heart-lung bypass support or stopping the heart. Participation in this study will last for approximately 5 years. Participants will be expected to attend a minimum of 7 in-person scheduled study visits after discharge from the hospital at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after the procedure.
Eligibility CriteriaEnrolling participants with mitral valve regurgitation who are at high risk of experiencing major complications while undergoing open-heart surgery due to their current medical conditions or anatomical reasons (relating to how and where the heart, mitral valve, and blood vessels are placed within the body). Additionally, physicians have determined that these participants may not be optimally treated with currently approved transcatheter repair therapies.

    This study is enrolling patients who have a patent foramen ovale (PFO), have had a stroke of unknown origin (cryptogenic stroke), and whose doctor has decided they are a candidate for a transcatheter procedure (a procedure performed through a flexible tube inserted through a narrow opening into a small incision in the skin) to close their PFO. A PFO is a common opening in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers (the right and left atria) of your heart. In most cases, this opening closes around the time of birth. If the opening remains after birth, it can allow the blood to mix in the two upper chambers of the heart. This post-market study will look at closing the PFO to reduce the risk for another stroke using a market-approved medical device called a septal occluder. This device is called the ‘GSO device’ in this description. The GSO device is a minimally invasive device intended for the closure of a PFO using cardiac catheterization. It is a permanent implant consisting of a near circular wire frame covered with thin material. The soft, conformable material, invented and manufactured by Gore, has been used in open-heart surgery for more than 40 years and has been shown to be safe in implanted medical devices. The wire frame is made of a nickel-titanium metal alloy called nitinol with a platinum core (so that it may be seen on X-ray images).

    RV Ischemia & Fibrosis in CTEPH

    This study is enrolling patients who have been diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and who are scheduled for a pulmonary endareterectomy (PEA) or balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) procedure for treatment.

    This study is enrolling patients who have been diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and who are scheduled for a pulmonary endareterectomy (PEA) or balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) procedure for treatment. CTEPH is high blood pressure in the arteries in the pulmonary system (lungs) caused by clots. Over time the clots typically leave scar tissue (fibrosis) in the arteries and lead to poor blood supply to the heart. In patients with CTEPH symptoms of heart failure commonly result from dysfunction (not working correctly) in the right ventricle (RV), or the chamber of the heart that pumps blood to the lungs. However, little is currently known about why or how that chamber of the heart becomes dysfunctional in patients with this condition. In another chamber of the heart, the left ventricle, it is known that elevated blood pressure in that chamber causes the development of diffuse fibrosis, or scarring between the muscle fibers, and a similar process may take place in the right ventricle of patients with CTEPH.

    For this study a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) stress test (also known as stress CMR) will be done to look at the RV in patients with CTEPH before and 6 months after treatment. A stress CMR is a specialized scan of the heart that examines fibrosis (scarring) and blood flow (perfusion) both at rest and under stress. A gadolinium contrast agent (MRI dye) is given to highlight the heart muscle in areas receiving a good blood supply. Areas receiving less blood do not highlight as well as the good areas, which can be an indicator of ischemic heart disease (undersupply of blood and oxygen to the heart).

    This study is enrolling patients who have an aortic aneurysm involving the visceral branch blood vessels (vessels that provide blood to the kidneys) that requires treatment. The aorta is a large blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to organs in the rest of the body. This research study will look at treating thoracoabdominal or pararenal aneurysm disease with a new device design known as the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis (the ‘Study Device’).The Study Device that will be used to treat the aneurysm is called a “stent-graft”. The Study Device combines a surgical graft material with an outer metal mesh-like form (stent). The nonmetal graft component of the Study Device is made of a soft, polymer material (ePTFE). This material is routinely and safely used for surgical procedures throughout the world today. The graft is surrounded on the outside with a metal frame made from an elastic metal (nitinol wire or stainless steel) bent into a wave pattern and shaped to fit the graft. The materials used in the Study Device are not investigational and have a long, safe history of performance in similar applications.

    The purpose of this research study is to compare health outcomes of patients diagnosed with Primary MR who have their MV repaired with open heart surgery, which is the current standard treatment, to patients who have their Mitral Valve repaired with the MitraClip System. The MitraClip System uses a less invasive procedure to repair the mitral valve.

    Subjects are asked to participate in this Study because they have moderate-to-severe or severe MR and it has been determined to have symptoms due to heart failure despite being treated with currently available therapies. MR occurs when the leaflets of the mitral valve do not close properly causing blood to leak backward with each heartbeat. Since some of the blood leaks backward, the heart needs to pump more blood with each beat to push the same amount of blood forward.

    The Study will enroll approximately 500 subjects at up to 60 sites in Europe, United States, and Canada. The Study consists of two arms: Device Arm and Control Arm.

    Eligibility Criteria

    • Subject has severe (Grade III or greater per the ASE criteria, which includes severitygrades of 3+ and 4+) primary MR (mixed etiology is acceptable provided theprincipal mechanism of action is a degenerative mitral valve) as assessed bythe ECL.
    • Subject is at least 75 years of age

    This study is enrolling patients in whom the Amulet device could be beneficial in reducing the risk of ischemic stroke due to non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this research study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the Amulet device compared to non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) for ischemic stroke risk reduction. NOACs are a class or type of drugs taken daily, which thin the blood to reduce blood clots and the risk of an ischemic stroke. An ischemic stroke occurs when a small clot prevents blood and oxygen from reaching part of the brain. While NOACs are effective in preventing blood clots and ischemic stroke, thinning of the blood can increase the risk for bleeding events. The Amulet device is intended to be permanently implanted within the LAA. The LAA is a small pouch attached to the upper left chamber of the heart, the left atrium. In patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, clots can form in the LAA and travel to the brain, sometimes causing an ischemic stroke. The Amulet device is designed to seal off the LAA from blood flow, preventing clots from leaving the LAA and traveling to the brain. This is accomplished without the need for NOACs or warfarin in most cases.
