Transcatheter heart valve repair is often
referred to as percutaneous heart valve repair (PHVR). The naming conventions
are also changed to account for the specific heart valve that the device is
indicated for. Devices currently approved and undergoing trials are intended
for use on the mitral valve and are thus labeled as transcatheter mitral valve
replacement (TMVR) devices.
Abbott Laboratories’ MitraClip™ is the only
TMVR device approved for use by the FDA. The MitraClip™ procedure is based on
the edge-to-edge surgical method of valve repair. In the MitraClip™ procedure,
the steerable guide catheter is inserted into the femoral vein at the groin and
provides a conduit to access the mitral valve. The clip delivery system
delivers and deploys the MitraClip™, which must be carefully timed by the
physician but can be adjusted if the position is not desirable. This procedure
is performed while the heart is still beating, without cardiopulmonary bypass
or the need for a thoracotomy or sternotomy.
The human heart contains four valves: the
mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve and pulmonary valve. The mitral
valve is most prone to regurgitation, which is a condition where blood is
funneled back into the left atrium of the heart. Mitral regurgitation (MR) can
either be caused by a congenital defect or myxomatous degeneration of the valve.
Individuals with MR can suffer from atrial fibrillation, heart muscle
dysfunction and even sudden death caused by cardiac arrest. In the U.S., there
are just over 4 million people that may have MR, with
only a minority actually diagnosed. The standard of care for MR is open surgery
and/or the use of annuloplasty rings.
