Prospective trials of the Carillon Mitral Contour System have shown effective hemodynamic and clinical improvement in patients with heart failure and functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) including beneficial left ventricular and left atrial remodeling.
The CINCH registry is a multi-center, real-world study of patients treated with the Carillon device as standard of care. It is intended to enroll up to 250 patients in up to 40 centers in Germany.
The poster presented shows an interim analysis of 101 patients with up to 5 years follow-up data, including mortality, device related safety, change in NYHA class and rate of heart failure hospitalizations.

Although any degree of secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is known to further complicate heart failure symptoms and mortality, a treatment paradigm for patients with mild and moderate SMR is lacking. The recent publication on Carillon in the European Journal of Heart Failure – Treating symptoms and reversing remodelling: clinical and echocardiographic 1-year outcomes with percutaneous mitral annuloplasty for mild to moderate secondary mitral regurgitation – was particularly enlightening.
The purpose of the authors’ investigation was to determine the effects of percutaneous mitral annuloplasty on symptoms, 6-minute walk distance, and left ventricular (LV) structure and function in patients with mild or moderate SMR in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. They examined a total of 68 patients from all Carillon trials who had mild and moderate SMR in a retrospective study of one-year outcomes. The findings were very encouraging:
- Mean 6-minute walk test distance increased by 34 m (95% CI 12 to 57; P < 0.01)
- Mean KCCQ scores increased from baseline by 10 units [95% confidence interval (CI) 3 to 17; P < 0.01]
- SMR grade improved in 25% of patients and was maintained in 58% of patients with changes in mean regurgitant volume of −7 mL (95% CI −11 to −3; P < 0.001), vena contracta −0.11 cm (95% CI −0.20 to −0.02; P < 0.05), and effective regurgitant orifice area −0.03 cm2 (95% CI −0.06 to −0.01; P < 0.05)
- New York Heart Association class status was maintained (48%) or improved (46%) in the vast majority of patients
- Survival over one year was 89% and freedom from HF hospitalization was 73%
The authors conclude: “Among patients with symptomatic HF and mild or moderate SMR on guideline-directed medical therapy, percutaneous mitral annuloplasty [i.e., the Carillon therapy] was associated with improvements in symptoms, SMR, a stabilization of LV structure and function, and high survival rates.”

This publication documents the case of a 70-year-old female with symptomatic severe native aortic regurgitation, acquired dextrocardia, moderate-to-severe secondary mitral regurgitation and prohibitive surgical risk. Six months after treatment with aortic valve replacement, the patient remained symptomatic due to moderate-to-severe secondary mitral regurgitation. The patient was treated with the Carillon therapy which resulted in a significant reduction of mitral regurgitation and uneventful follow-up.
This case illustrates the flexibility of the Carillon implant to be used successfully alongside other therapies and highlights the short user learning curve of the Carillon therapy as the procedure was performed by a cardiac surgeon, not an interventional cardiologist.
