About this trial
This trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Structural Heart Surgery Assist System in assisting TEER for patients with moderate-to-severe or greater degenerative or functional mitral regurgitation (MR ≥3+). A prospective, multicenter, stratified randomized controlled design with non-inferiority comparison will be used. The experimental group will utilize the Structural Heart Surgery Assist System, while the control group will undergo manual TEER (e.g., MitraClip G4).
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Age ≥18 years, regardless of gender.
Persistent heart failure symptoms (NYHA Class III/IVa) despite guidelines directed medical therapy (GDMT), revascularization, or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for 1-3 months.
≥1 hospitalization for heart failure within the past 12 months and/or BNP >150 pg/mL or NT-proBNP >600 pg/mL.
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥20% and ≤50%, with left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) ≤70 mm.
Disqualifiers
Rheumatic mitral valve disease.
Uncorrected active infection.
Severe calcification or thickening in the clip coaptation zone, rendering TEER anatomically unsuitable.
Intracardiac mass, thrombus, or vegetation on echocardiography.
