Study Purpose: This study is trying a new device called the AltaValve to help people with serious heart problems. The heart has a valve that helps blood flow correctly, and sometimes it doesn't work properly, causing mitral valve regurgitation (MR). In this study, doctors want to see if the AltaValve can help people who can't have regular heart surgery because it's too risky for them.
Eligibility: You can join if you’re 18 or older and have serious MR, as shown by a test called an echo. This study is for people who have been told by doctors that surgery is too dangerous for them. You can’t join if you have problems understanding the study or following medical advice, are in another similar study, or have certain allergies.
- Study Length: Not specified, but participants should be prepared for multiple visits and follow-ups.
- Participation: You will need to be able to understand the study and agree to participate by signing a consent form.
- Risks: There are some risks, especially if you have allergies or other health issues, so it’s important to discuss with your doctor.
