ARB-PMCF is a multicenter, observational study of the safety and performance of Abbott annuloplasty devices used in surgical repair of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. The devices included in this study are the SJM™ Rigid Saddle Ring and SJM Séguin Annuloplasty Ring, indicated for mitral valve repair, and the SJM Tailor™ Annuloplasty Ring and SJM Tailor Annuloplasty Band, indicated for mitral or tricuspid repair. Participants will be enrolled prior to undergoing mitral or tricuspid valve repair surgery including an Abbott annuloplasty implant and will complete annual follow-up visits through five years from implant. The study is being conducted to meet post-market clinical follow-up requirements of the European Union Medical Device Directives.
The ARB-PMCF Study has a prospective, multicenter, observational, parallel group design in which up to 550 subjects will be followed through five years from implant of an Abbott annuloplasty device, with or without concomitant procedures, in five treatment groups, including primary mitral disease repair (N=200) with the Rigid Saddle Ring, Séguin Ring or full Tailor Ring without cut zone removal; secondary mitral disease repair (N=200) with the Rigid Saddle Ring, Séguin Ring or full Tailor Ring; primary tricuspid disease repair with the full Tailor Ring (N=50); secondary tricuspid disease repai…

Subject is expected to undergo cardiac surgery in ≤90 days including at least one of the following: 1. implant of a Rigid Saddle Ring, Séguin Ring or a full Tailor Ring without cut zone removal for MR repair 2. implant of a full Tailor Ring without cut zone removal for TR repair, or 3. implant of a Tailor Band or partial Tailor Ring with cut zone removed for primary TR repair. 2. Subject's cardiac surgery will be performed by a study investigator. 3. Subject will be ≥18 years old at the time of their annuloplasty implant(s). 4. Subject provides written informe…
The Abbott SJM Rigid Saddle Ring is a rigid, polyester-velour-covered, titanium alloy mitral annuloplasty ring with a saddle shape intended to mimic the shape of a healthy mitral annulus during systole.
The Abbott SJM Séguin Ring is a semi-rigid, polyester-velour-covered, polyethylene mitral annuloplasty ring that varies in thickness and flexibility over its circumference, with the posterior portion of the ring having greater flexibility than the anterior portion.
The Abbott SJM Tailor Ring is a flexible, polyester-velour-covered, silicone annuloplasty ring indicated for use in surgical repair of the mitral or tricuspid valve. The Tailor Ring can be implanted as a full annuloplasty ring, or the surgeon can remove the ring's cut zone with a scalpel and use the partial Tailor Ring as a posterior annuloplasty band.
The Abbott SJM Tailor Band is a flexible, polyester-velour-covered, silicone band for posterior annuloplasty indicated for use in surgical repair of mitral or tricuspid valve. The Tailor Band is identical to the Tailor Ring with the cut zone removed, save that the polyester covering is sewn closed at the ends of the band during manufacturing.
