The CARILLON® Mitral Contour System™ enables the mitral ring to be remodelled by reducing dilatation and mitral regurgitation by means of a percutaneous procedure.
The system consists of an implantable device made of Nitinol, designed to be positioned in the coronary sinus, and a release system. The device is fully recapturable and is available in various measurements compatible with anatomical features; subsequent releases are possible if an initial device is removed.
CARILLON® Mitral Contour System™ is indicated for use in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR).
The advantages of using the CARILLON® system are:
- Quick and simple procedure with a right jugular vein approach
- General anaesthesia not mandatory
- No transseptal puncture
- 3D TEE not mandatory
- Does not prevent subsequent therapeutic operations
- Anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy not indispensable
