Mitral TRans-Apical neoChordal Echo-guided Repair (TRACER) Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Harpoon Artificial ePTFE Chords for Mitral Valve Regurgitation and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 4 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Harpoon Medical device. It is anticipated, that the Harpoon Medical device will provide advantages over current surgical interventions including: 1) a small minimally invasive incision, 2) no sternotomy, 3) no cardiopulmonary bypass, 4) no aortic manipulation, 5) a direct path to the valve plane, 6) performed on a beating heart, 7) real-time TOE-guided chordal length adjustment and 8) less complicated procedure that is teachable and adoptable.
