MEMO 3D Annuloplasty Ring

Title: MEMO 3D Annuolplasty Ring Study

Study sponsor: Sorin

Principal Investigator: Vibhu Kshettry, MD 

Study synopsis: The purpose of this clinical study is to [demonstrate] assess the effectiveness and safety of the MEMO 3D Annuloplasty Ring when used to repair a diseased or dysfunctional mitral valve.

Patients who qualify to participate in this study must be diagnosed with a condition indicated for correction of congenilal or acquired mitral insufficiency due to dilatation or deformation of the mitral annulus.

The MEMO 3D Annuloplasty Ring employs materials with a long and satisfactory history of use in cardiovascular applications. Since all materials are non-ferromagnetic the device does not present a significant risk during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The Semirigid ring allows for 3 dimensional movement maintaining the saddle-like configuration of the Mitral annulus during the hearts beating cycle.

Follow-up consists of both clinic visits and phone calls. Clinic visits will consist of a brief physical exam, blood work and an echocardiogram and will occur 30 days, 6 months and 12 months after implant of the device.

How do I qualify? You may qualify if you have a leaking valve.
