Summary

ARB-PMCF is a multicenter, observational study of the safety and performance of Abbott annuloplasty devices used in surgical repair of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. The devices included in this study are the SJM™ Rigid Saddle Ring and SJM Séguin Annuloplasty Ring, indicated for mitral valve repair, and the SJM Tailor™ Annuloplasty Ring and SJM Tailor Annuloplasty Band, indicated for mitral or tricuspid repair. Participants will be enrolled prior to undergoing mitral or tricuspid valve repair surgery including an Abbott annuloplasty implant and will complete annual follow-up visits through five years from implant. The study is being conducted to meet post-market clinical follow-up requirements of the European Union Medical Device Directives.

Detailed description

The ARB-PMCF Study has a prospective, multicenter, observational, parallel group design in which up to 550 subjects will be followed through five years from implant of an Abbott annuloplasty device, with or without concomitant procedures, in five treatment groups, including primary mitral disease repair (N=200) with the Rigid Saddle Ring, Séguin Ring or full Tailor Ring without cut zone removal; secondary mitral disease repair (N=200) with the Rigid Saddle Ring, Séguin Ring or full Tailor Ring; primary tricuspid disease repair with the full Tailor Ring (N=50); secondary tricuspid disease repair with the full Tailor Ring (N=50); and primary tricuspid disease repair with the Tailor Band or partial Tailor Ring with cut zone removed (N=50). Study enrollment will occur at up to 25 global centers with approximately half or more of all implanted subjects being from European sites. The study will enroll adult subjects expected to be implanted with an Abbott annuloplasty device within 90 days who meet all other eligibility requirements. Participants will complete annual in-clinic or telephone follow-up visits through five years from their annuloplasty implant. Data collected will include adverse events, cardiac medication usage, New York Heart Association functional classification (a measure of the severity of heart failure symptoms) and echocardiographic assessments of regurgitation through the repaired valve.

Conditions

• Mitral Regurgitation
• Tricuspid Regurgitation
• Valvular Heart Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Abbott SJM Rigid Saddle Ring	The Abbott SJM Rigid Saddle Ring is a rigid, polyester-velour-covered, titanium alloy mitral annuloplasty ring with a saddle shape intended to mimic the shape of a healthy mitral annulus during systole.
DEVICE	Abbott SJM Séguin Ring	The Abbott SJM Séguin Ring is a semi-rigid, polyester-velour-covered, polyethylene mitral annuloplasty ring that varies in thickness and flexibility over its circumference, with the posterior portion of the ring having greater flexibility than the anterior portion.
DEVICE	Abbott SJM Tailor Ring	The Abbott SJM Tailor Ring is a flexible, polyester-velour-covered, silicone annuloplasty ring indicated for use in surgical repair of the mitral or tricuspid valve. The Tailor Ring can be implanted as a full annuloplasty ring, or the surgeon can remove the ring's cut zone with a scalpel and use the partial Tailor Ring as a posterior annuloplasty band.
DEVICE	Abbott SJM Tailor Band	The Abbott SJM Tailor Band is a flexible, polyester-velour-covered, silicone band for posterior annuloplasty indicated for use in surgical repair of mitral or tricuspid valve. The Tailor Band is identical to the Tailor Ring with the cut zone removed, save that the polyester covering is sewn closed at the ends of the band during manufacturing.
