About this study

A prospective multicenter study enrolling high surgical risk patients with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC) and symptomatic mitral valve dysfunction (severe stenosis, ≥ moderate to severe regurgitation, or mixed ≥ moderate stenosis and ≥ regurgitation). There are 2 Arms in this study: 1) "Transseptal (TS) Valve-in-MAC" (ViMAC) Arm, and 2) Natural History of Disease Registry (NHDR) for patients treated with medical treatment only (which includes patients who meet inclusion criteria but can't be treated with transeptal ViMAC due to the presence of anatomical exclusion criteria or other exclusion criteria) and have not had other procedures that may impact outcomes (i.e., alcohol septal ablation or radiofrequency ablation). The study also includes a Registry of Permanently Unassigned" for subjects who undergo preemptive septal ablation procedures (alcohol or radiofrequency) in anticipation of continuing onto ViMAC arm, but are not accepted in the ViMAC Study arm or the patient chooses not to undergo ViMAC procedure.

You may qualify if…

✓ All Candidates must meet the following criteria:
✓ 1. \- 18 years of age or older
✓ 2. -Severe mitral annular calcification with symptomatic mitral valve dysfunction including severe mitral stenosis defined as mitral valve area (MVA) of ≤1.5 cm2, or ≥ moderate to severe mitral regurgitation, or mixed ≥ moderated stenosis and ≥ moderate regurgitation. For this study, the severity of mitral regurgitation will be graded according to the 2017 American Society of Echocardiography Guidelines: None, Trivial, Mild 1(+), Moderate 2(+), Moderate to severe 3(+), and severe 4(+).
✓ 3. \- NYHA Functional Class ≥II.
✓ 4. The heart team agrees that valve implantation will likely benefit the patient.
✓ 5. High or prohibitive risk for standard mitral valve surgery as determined by the heart team (at least one site cardiac surgeon must personally examine the subject to determine operative risk in patients presented for inclusion to ViMAC arm). NOTE: Patients not interested in mitral intervention or who are being considered for inclusion in the Natural History of Disease Registry are not required to be evaluated in person by a surgeon.)
✓ 6. The study patient has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the respective clinical site.
✓ 7. The study patient agrees to comply with all required post-procedure follow-up visits including annual visits through 5 years.

You may not qualify if…

✕ 1. \- The heart team considers the patient is a surgical candidate.
✕ 2. \- Mitral annulus is not severely calcified.
✕ 3. \- Myocardial infarction requiring revascularization within 30 days from procedure.
✕ 4. \- Clinically significant untreated coronary artery disease requiring revascularization.
✕ 5. Any therapeutic invasive cardiac procedure resulting in a permanent implant that is performed within 30 days of the index procedure (unless part of planned strategy for treatment of concomitant coronary artery disease). Implantation of a permanent pacemaker is not exclusionary.
✕ 6. Any patient with a balloon valvuloplasty (BMV) within 30 days of the procedure (unless BMV is a bridge to ViMAC procedure after a qualifying Echo).
✕ 7. Severe symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation (hepatic dysfunction, ascites, edema not controlled with diuretics) requiring surgery.
✕ 8. Leukopenia (WBC \< 3000 cell/mL), acute anemia (Hgb \< 9 g/dL), Thrombocytopenia (Platelets \< 50,000 cell/mL), history of coagulopathy or hypercoagulable state.
