New Data Confirms Cardiac Dimensions' Carillon® System Provides Acute Hemodynamic Efficacy In Patients With Functional Mitral Regurgitation


MANNHEIM, Germany, April 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardiac Dimensions, a leader in the development of innovative, minimally invasive treatments to address functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in patients with heart failure (HF), presented new data confirming significant reduction in regurgitant volume directly after implantation of the Carillon Mitral Contour System® at the German Society of Cardiology annual congress, DGK 2019. The Carillon System is a right-heart transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) device designed to treat the primary cause of FMR in patients with MR grades 2+, 3+ and 4+.

Carillon Mitral Contour System

Prof. Dr. Andreas Hagendorff, Head of Laboratory of Echocardiography of the Department of Cardiology-Angiology at the University of Leipzig and renowned echo-cardiologist led the study. "Functional mitral regurgitation is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure. For patients ineligible to receive surgical treatment, interventional techniques represent a new therapy option." Prof. Hagendorff continued, "The findings we presented confirmed the acute hemodynamic effects of the Carillon device on mitral valve morphology and demonstrated an acute reduction in regurgitant fraction in 83% of patients, as documented by transthoracic echo after device implantation."

"The significant acute MR benefit demonstrated in our study, achieved by a device that cinches the mitral apparatus via the coronary sinus without compromising the valve or future treatment options, makes the Carillon System a front-line treatment option for FMR patients," added Dr. Stephan Stoebe, co-author and presenter at DGK.

Presentations highlighting the Carillon System this week during DGK 2019 include:

"We are pleased with the results from the University of Leipzig study validating the immediate impact of the Carillon System on mitral regurgitation for a large percentage of FMR patients," said Greg Casciaro, President and CEO of Cardiac Dimensions. "This study adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of the Carillon System in two key measurements of FMR - a significant MR reduction and favorable left ventricular remodeling, observed most recently in the REDUCE FMR trial, the first and only randomized, blinded, sham-controlled trial conducted in structural heart."

About the Carillon Mitral Contour System
The Carillon System offers a simple right-heart approach to transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) designed to reshape the anatomy and improve function of the mitral apparatus from the coronary sinus. Distal and proximal anchors, connected by a shaping ribbon, utilize the heart's venous anatomy to cinch the mitral apparatus, without compromising the valve or future treatment options.1,2 The Carillon System is designed to treat the primary cause of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in patients with MR grades 2+, 3+ and 4+ and is the first and only device to demonstrate a reduction in regurgitant volume and reverse left ventricular remodeling in a randomized sham-controlled clinical trial of percutaneous valve therapy 3,4,5.

The Carillon System has CE Mark (0344) approval and has been implanted in over 950 patients in Europe, Australia, Turkey and the Middle East. The Carillon System is not approved for sale in the United States.
