HARPOON Beating Heart Mitral Valve Repair System
A new trial of a minimally invasive treatment for severe degenerative mitral regurgitation
What is degenerative mitral regurgitation?
Degenerative mitral regurgitation is a condition in which the valve’s two flap-like leaflets and supporting string-like structures (chords) are too stretchy and may even break.
When the heart contracts, the valve’s leaflets may not close correctly. This causes regurgitation, which occurs when blood leaks backward into the left atrium with each heartbeat.
Symptoms
- Chest pain
- Lightheadedness
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Fainting
- Difficulty when exercising
However, some patients may not experience any symptoms at all.
