About the study

This study will evaluate the safety and performance of the Cardiovalve System with its associated procedure to determine effectiveness in reducing mitral regurgitation. Data collected in this clinical study will include 30-day safety and performance of the device and delivery system, and long-term clinical outcomes over a follow-up of 5 years.

Who can join?

The AHEAD trial is recruiting patients with symptoms of severe mitral regurgitation who are at elevated risk for mitral valve repair or replacement surgery. The patient must be anatomically eligible for mitral valve replacement performed by way of the femoral vein with access across the heart’s septum to the left atrium.
