iCoapsys mitral valve repair system: Percutaneous implantation in an animal model
Key result
The iCoapsys transcatheter mitral valve repair system was successfully delivered and accurately positioned without complication in all 12 adult sheep in an acute model.

Implication
Acute ovine success supports device feasibility; leaves open human safety and efficacy trials.
Structured PICO
Can the iCoapsys transcatheter mitral valve repair system be accurately and safely implanted percutaneously in an animal model?
P
Population
12 adult sheep evaluated in an acute model for percutaneous delivery of the iCoapsys implant.
I
Intervention
Percutaneous implantation of the iCoapsys transcatheter mitral valve repair system

Outcome
Accurate and safe delivery and positioning of the iCoapsys implantsafety
The iCoapsys transcatheter mitral valve repair system demonstrated feasibility and acute safety for percutaneous implantation in a sheep model.
Cite This Study
Pedersen et al. (2008) studied Functional mitral regurgitation (n=12). iCoapsys transcatheter mitral valve repair system was evaluated on Precise percutaneous delivery and implantation. The iCoapsys transcatheter mitral valve repair system was successfully delivered and accurately positioned without complication in all 12 adult sheep in an acute model.
