-- Data Presentation & Lunch Symposium at TVT2019 Structural Heart Summit
Cardiac Dimensions , a leader in the development of minimally invasive treatments for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in patients with heart failure, presented data at the TVT2019 Structural Heart Summit showing increased mitral valve tenting is associated with an improvement in regurgitant volume with the Carillon Mitral Contour System(R). The Carillon(R) System is a right-heart transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) device designed to treat the primary cause of FMR in patients with MR grades 2+, 3+ and 4+.
Previous studies have shown that increased tenting dimensions predict residual or recurrent mitral regurgitation after surgical restrictive annuloplasty[1]. To assess the consistency of this predictive assessment, a retrospective analysis of 125 Carillon patients enrolled in the TITAN, TITAN II and REDUCE FMR clinical studies assessed the relationship between baseline tenting area and tenting height (coaptation distance) on percent regurgitant volume (RV) change and percent left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) change.
Steven L. Goldberg, MD, Tyler Heart Institute, Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, presented the data on behalf of Cardiac Dimensions and
