- Composite Safety Endpoints [ Time Frame: Discharge from the hospital or 30-days following the index procedure, whichever is longer. ]Composite safety endpoint, defined as freedom-from all-cause mortality, stroke, acute kidney injury (AKI), major bleeding, new permanent pace-maker implantation, deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) or wound infection requiring surgical intervention, and prolonged mechanical ventilation.
- Composite Effectiveness Endpoints [ Time Frame: 1 year following the index procedure. ]Composite effectiveness endpoint, defined as freedom-from all-cause mortality, re-intervention on the mitral valve and recurrent [moderate or severe] MR.
- Blood Product Usage [ Time Frame: Intraoperatively or post-operatively until discharge ]Blood product usage intraoperatively or post-operatively until discharge, in the HARPOON System treatment arm vs. open surgery.
- Procedure Time [ Time Frame: First incision to incision close time ]Procedure time: first incision to incision close time in the HARPOON System treatment arm vs. open surgery.
- OR Time [ Time Frame: Entry to OR suite and exit from OR suite ]OR time: entry to OR suite and exit from OR suite in the HARPOON System treatment arm vs. open surgery.
- Total Ventilation Hours [ Time Frame: Discharge ]Total ventilation hours at discharge in the HARPOON System treatment arm vs. open surgery.
- Total Hours in ICU [ Time Frame: Post index procedure until discharge ]Total hours in the ICU post index procedure until discharge in the HARPOON System treatment arm vs. open surgery.
- Percentage of subjects receiving mitral valve replacement (MVR) [ Time Frame: During Index Procedure ]Percentage of subjects receiving mitral valve replacement (MVR) during the index procedure in the HARPOON System treatment arm vs. open surgery.
- Hospital Length of Stay (LOS) [ Time Frame: Post index procedure until discharge ]Hospital length of stay (LOS) post index procedure until discharge in the HARPOON System treatment arm vs. open surgery.
- Composite Effectiveness Endpoint [ Time Frame: One year following the index procedure ]Composite effectiveness endpoint, defined as freedom from all-cause mortality, re-intervention on the mitral valve and recurrent (moderate or severe) mitral regurgitation (MR) for one year following the index procedure, in the HARPOON System treatment arm vs. CTSN-TR comparator.
- Discharged to Home vs. Other Facility [ Time Frame: Discharge ]Discharged to home vs. other facility, in the HARPOON System treatment arm vs. open surgery.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 21 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
Each subject is required to meet all of the following inclusion criteria:
- Patient is >/= 21 years old.
- Presence of severe degenerative mitral regurgitation with mid-segment posterior leaflet prolapse (without commissural involvement) by echocardiographic study.
- Mitral leaflet coaptation surface sufficient to reduce mitral regurgitation without undue leaflet tension, based on the judgment of the Echocardiographic Core Lab.
- Patient competent to sign informed consent and able to return for follow-up and is capable of participating in all testing associated with this clinical investigation.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients will be excluded if ANY of the following criteria apply:
- Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR).
- Evidence of anterior or bileaflet prolapse.
- Severe mitral annular calcification (MAC).
- Moderate or greater leaflet calcification.
- Fragile or thinning apex (e.g. LV aneurysm).
- Have undergone cardiac or peripheral vascular procedures within 30 days prior to the trial procedure.
- Planned cardiac or peripheral vascular procedures within 30 days after the trial procedure.
- Requirement for concomitant cardiac surgery.
- Severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery systolic pressure > 60mmHg).
- Severe aortic stenosis or insufficiency.
- Severe tricuspid regurgitation. (Patients with mild or moderate tricuspid regurgitation are not excluded.)
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <30%, or severely impaired right ventricular dysfunction as measured by the core lab.
- Any history of endocarditis.
- Contraindication to cardiac surgery, including hostile chest or history of mediastinal radiation.
- Previous structural heart intervention (e.g. any heart valve replacement or repair procedures). Previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is allowed.
- Previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
- Stroke within 30 days prior to index procedure.
- ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) requiring intervention within 30 days prior to index procedure.
- Evidence of cirrhosis or hepatic synthetic failure (Child-Pugh Class B or higher, [or MELD score of ≥ 13]).
- Renal insufficiency CKD Stage 3b or worse (GFR < 45 ml/min/1.73 m2).
- Hemodynamic instability or cardiogenic shock at the time of enrollment (e.g. requiring inotropic support or mechanical support devices).
- History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or leukopenia (WBC < 3000 mcL) or acute anemia (Hb < 9 g/dL) or thrombocytopenia (platelets < 50,000 cells mcL).
- Active SARS-CoV-2 infection (Coronavirus-19 [COVID-19]) or previously diagnosed with COVID-19 with sequelae that could confound endpoint assessments (as assessed by Case Review Committee).
- Refuse blood products.
- Planned treatment with any other investigational device or procedure through 1-year follow-up, or who are currently participating in an investigational drug or device trial.
- Carotid stenosis ≥ to 80% at time of enrollment.
- Rheumatic heart disease including rheumatic mitral stenosis.
- Pregnant or lactating at the time of enrollment (women of childbearing age should have negative pregnancy test within 72 hours of surgery) or planning pregnancy within the next 12 months.
- Concurrent medical condition with a life expectancy of less than 12 months in the judgment of the Investigator.
- Condition or conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, precludes participation, including willingness to comply with all follow-up procedures.
- Contraindication for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), including esophageal spasm, esophageal stricture, esophageal laceration, esophageal perforation, esophageal diverticula (e.g. Zenker's diverticulum).
- Echocardiographic evidence of intracardiac mass (e.g. left ventricular, atrial, or appendage thrombus, myxoma, or vegetation).
-
Cannot tolerate procedural anticoagulation or post-procedure antiplatelet regimen.
Intra-operative exclusion criteria
- No longer meets eligibility criteria based on intra-operative assessment.
