Summary

This study follows up to 200 people who receive a special device to close leaks that can form around previously implanted heart valves. The leak can cause heart failure or destroy red blood cells. The device is placed using a thin tube through a blood vessel, avoiding open-heart surgery. Researchers will monitor safety and how well the device works for up to 3 years.

Who is studied

The Occlutech® PLD is indicated for patients with a significant leak that causes hemodynamically significant heart failure or hemolysis which requires recurrent blood transfusions. It is further indicated for patients who are deemed at high risk for surgery after consultation with the surgeon or as an alternative to surgery with less operational time and recovery period. The investigation population matches the target population.
