CE Mark Study for the Harpoon Medical Device in Poland
Poland26 participantsStarted 2015-12-11
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Harpoon Medical TSD-5. The Harpoon device will provide many significant advantages over current surgical interventions including: 1) a small minimally invasive incision, 2) no sternotomy, 3) no cardiopulmonary bypass, 4) no aortic manipulation, 5) a direct path to the valve plane, 6) performed on a beating heart, 7) real-time TEE-guided chordal length adjustment and 8) less complicated procedure that is teachable and adoptable.

* Age \> 18 years
* Estimated post-ePTFE cordal implantation coaptation surface is adequate in the judgment of the operating surgeon and the patient eligibility committee
* Degenerative mitral valve disease
* Subject is able to sign informed consent and able to return for follow-up and is capable of participating in all testing associated with this clinical investigation
* Women of child-bearing potential have a negative pregnancy test
* Able to sign informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
* Age \< 18 years
* Infective endocarditis
* Anterior or bileaflet prolapse
* Functional mitral regurgitation

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
