Echocardiographic and clinical outcomes following beating heart NeoChord DS1000 mitral valve repair: a single centre case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The NeoChord DS1000 system implants artificial neochords transapically, through a left mini-thoracotomy to treat degenerative mitral valve regurgitation (MR). Performed without cardiopulmonary bypass, neochord implantation and length adjustment is guided by transesophageal echocardiography. We describe imaging and clinical outcomes for a single center case series using this innovative device platform.

Methods

In this prospective series, all study patients had degenerative MR and were considered for conventional mitral valve surgery. Moderate to high-risk candidates were screened for NeoChord DS1000 eligibility based on echocardiographic criteria. Study criteria included isolated posterior leaflet prolapse, leaflet-to-annulus index greater than 1.2, and coaptation
