APOLLO - Mitral Valve Regurgitation - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
If you choose to join the study you will:
- Be in the study for 5 years
- Have 8 study visits that will last 1-3 hours each and include physical exams, blood and urine tests, walk tests, imaging and questionnaires about how you're feeling
- Be randomized (like the flip of a coin) to receive either:
--- Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR) with the Intrepid system
OR
--- Conventional mitral valve surgery
Both of these are inpatient procedures and require a 4-5 day hospital stay
