Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with symptomatic secondary mitral regurgitation who are not eligible for mitral valve surgery due to prohibitive risks.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with untreated significant coronary artery disease or those requiring other cardiac interventions will likely not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the safety and feasibility of the Bio Refine Coriofix System for patients suffering from functional mitral regurgitation who are not candidates for traditional mitral valve surgery. It will include patients with symptomatic secondary mitral regurgitation who have been adequately treated with guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure. Participants will undergo the procedure and will be monitored during the hospital stay, with follow-up assessments scheduled at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months post-procedure to evaluate outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a new treatment option for patients with severe mitral regurgitation who currently have limited alternatives.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar interventions in the field of mitral valve treatment have shown promise, indicating potential for success.
