This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is a feasibility study testing the SQ-Kyrin transcatheter mitral valve repair system, a catheter-based device designed to fix a severely leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. The study will enroll 10–30 patients and follow them for up to 5 years to see if the device works safely and effectively. It's designed for patients whose heart condition and overall health make traditional valve surgery too risky.
Many patients with severe mitral valve leakage cannot tolerate open-heart surgery because of other health conditions or advanced age. This study exists to see whether this new catheter-based approach—which doesn't require opening the chest—can safely and effectively repair the leaky valve in patients who have few other treatment options.

If you enroll, you will undergo the catheter-based repair procedure, which uses a thin tube threaded through blood vessels to reach and repair your mitral valve without opening your chest. You will be monitored closely after the procedure and asked to return for follow-up appointments at 30 days, 6 months, and then yearly for up to 5 years. During these visits, you'll have heart imaging and other tests to monitor how well the repair is working.
