INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized trial comparing mitral valve (MV) transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) to surgical repair (1:1 ratio) in patients with primary, degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR). The trial will be conducted in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and is designed as a strategy trial. Thus, all devices legally marketed for TEER of primary degenerative MR in a particular country are eligible to be used in this trial.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5
- Adult patients ≥60 years with moderately-severe or severe (3+ or 4+/4+) primary degenerative (Carpentier type II) MR defined by transthoracic echocardiography
- Clinical indication for MV intervention and anatomic candidate for both surgical MV repair and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) per local heart team assessment with central eligibility committee verification
- Patients across the surgical risk spectrum (low, intermediate, and high risk) depending on local heart team assessment and central eligibility committee verification (see ACC/AHA 2020 guidelines for the management of patients with valvular heart disease)
- Patients with AF who meet an indication for a concomitant ablation procedure be included provided the local heart team and central eligibility committee decide they are eligible for both catheter-based and surgical ablation.
- Ability to perform 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and complete Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) instrument
Exclusion Criteria21
- Non-degenerative types of primary MR (e.g., cleft leaflet)
- Secondary or functional MR
- Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
- Presence of an IVC filter or permanent pacing/ICD leads that would interfere with TEER per local heart team assessment
- Known allergic reactions to intravenous contrast
- Febrile illness within 30-days prior to randomization
- Any absolute contraindication to transesophageal echocardiography
- Any contraindication to systemic heparinization including active bleeding diatheses, and heparin induced thrombocytopenia
- Patients with CAD requiring revascularization
- Any prior mitral valve intervention or any prior repair of atrial septal defect
- Any prior MV intervention or any prior repair of atrial septal defect
- Need for any of the following concomitant procedures: aortic valve or aortic surgery, tricuspid valve surgery
- Need for any emergency intervention or surgery
- Active endocarditis
- Hemodynamic instability defined as cardiac index \<2.0 l/min/m2 or systolic blood pressure \<90mmHg or need for inotropic support or any mechanical circulatory support
- Left ventricular ejection fraction \<25%
- Intracardiac mass or thrombus
- Co-morbid medical or oncologic condition for which local heart team believes that survival beyond 2 years is unlikely
- Active substance abuse
- Suspected inability to adhere to follow-up
- Treatment with another investigational drug or other intervention, assessment of which has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the present study endpoints.

Interventions
Patients who are randomized to the surgical arm will undergo mitral surgery. Mitral surgery will be conducted using general anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass. Mitral surgery may be performed via a sternotomy or a right thoracotomy approach with or without robotic assistance. Standard techniques commonly include a ring or band annuloplasty to correct and prevent annular dilatation; leaflet prolapse and redundancy may be corrected by leaflet resection techniques and / or chordal reconstruction.
Patients will be treated with a commercially-approved edge-to-edge mitral repair device. The steerable guide catheter (guide) is inserted into the femoral vein and advanced across the inter-atrial septum using image guided puncture. Fluoroscopic and echocardiographic guidance will be used to visualize the devices and assess the repair. The guide is positioned over the MV and the clip/clasp delivery system is inserted into the guide and positioned over the MV in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The delivery catheter is advanced until the clip/clasp emerges from the tip of the guide into the left atrium. The catheter is manipulated using the control handle until the clip/clasp is correctly oriented with respect to the line of coaptation of the mitral valve. The clip/clasp is opened, and advanced across the mitral valve into the left ventricle then pulled back to grasp the leaflets.
