Mitral Valve Repair/Replacement Through One of these Surgical Platforms is Effective in Every Form of Degenerative or FMR.
Why Percutaneous Mitral Valve Therapy?
Reasons for Percutaneous Mitral Valve Therapy Patients with Mitral Valve Regurgitation present a large clinical unmet need for therapeutic advances, specially high risk patients unsuitable for open heart surgery. Large Underserved Patient Population Tremendous Opportunity for Growth
The field of percutaneous mitral valve therapy has progressed at much slower pace than anticipated clinical introduction. Different Causes of the Mitral Disease. Complexity of Valvular Anatomy. Challenge Imaging Technology. Devices, Delivery Issues.
What PMVR Must Do: Delivery the device Transseptal, transatrial or transapical. Deploy the implant in Proper Position. Securely Anchor the implant. Ensure proper hemodynamics. Avoid LVOT obstruction. Avoid conduction system issues. Preserve Subvalvular apparatus. Have No PVL / Residual MR. 4 keys: Delivery, Fixation, Residual MR, SAM

Early clinical experience with CardiaQ
US Approval IDE Approval received April 9 th, 2015 20 patients Early Feasibility Study for 10TF and 10TA Primary Endpoint:30 day MAE(Mitral VARC Def.) Secondary: Procedures success, MR reduction. High Risk Surgical Candidates are included. Up to 5 Centers, currently 2 Cedars-Sinai, Los Angeles, CA: Dr. Trento University of Pennsylvania, PA: Dr. Szeto
Tiara Valve Device * The Tiara valve ( Neovasc, Inc., Canada) comprises a self-expanding stent and biological tissue leaflets fixed within the frame. * The valve orifice is D-shape to match the natural shape of the MV, and prevent impingement of the LVOT. * Minimally invasive off-pump mitral valved stent implantation via transapical approach under TEE guidance. * Limitations: Anchoring challenges, and Paravalvular leaks.

Summary Percutaneous Mitral Valve Therapy has the potential to be larger than TAVR for inoperable high risk patients. Due to the complexity of the disease, and MV anatomy, there will be more than one valve solution. Now at least 4 MV devices are in early clinical, and patient selection is critical Percutaneous Repair Devices address part of the problem, disappointing early results in clinical feasibility trials. PMVR has the potential to eliminate MR with a single shot device, is becoming an attractive alternative treatment for HR FMR patients, but challenge : Delivery, Fixation, Residual MR, SAM
