Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the early feasibility, initial safety, and efficacy of surgical implantation of a polymer prosthetic heart valve in patients requiring either mitral valve replacement or aortic valve replacement.

The main question it aims to answer is:

\-- What is the rate of valve-related complications, including thromboembolism, valve thrombosis, severe perivalvular leak, severe bleeding, and endocarditis, at 12 months post-operation?

Participants will undergo:

* Surgical implantation of a polymer prosthetic valve (mitral valve replacement for mitral valve group and aortic valve replacement for aortic valve group).
* Regular follow-up visits at 30 days, 3-6 months, and 12 months post-operation to evaluate clinical outcomes, including echocardiographic assessment and clinical event monitoring.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, exploratory, single-center clinical study designed to assess the early feasibility and initial safety of an investigational polymer prosthetic heart valve. A total of 10 patients will be enrolled, with 5 patients assigned to the mitral valve replacement group and 5 patients to the aortic valve replacement group.

Primary outcomes include the occurrence of valve-related complications within 12 months, such as thromboembolism, valve thrombosis, severe perivalvular leak, severe bleeding, and endocarditis.

Secondary outcomes include immediate device success rate, valve hemodynamic performance, comprehensive safety event evaluations (e.g., all-cause mortality, all-cause reoperation, valve extraction, and structural or non-structural valve dysfunction), cardiac functional classification (NYHA), and quality of life assessments (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, KCCQ).

Eligible participants are patients requiring mitral or aortic valve replacement, capable of undergoing extracorporeal circulation and anticoagulation therapy, and who have provided informed consent.

Exclusion criteria include patients with prior valve replacement surgery (except transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair), urgent/emergency procedures, significant comorbidities (e.g., recent stroke or myocardial infarction, severe liver/kidney dysfunction, active infections), severe coagulation disorders, allergies to valve materials, substance abuse issues, psychiatric disorders, or anticipated life expectancy under 12 months. Patients who drop out after valve implantation will not be replaced.

5. Anticipated need for additional non-valve cardiac surgery within 12 months.
6. Active systemic infection, including pneumonia or infective endocarditis.
7. Intracardiac thrombus detected on echocardiography or imaging.
8. Stroke or transient ischemic attack within the prior 3 months.
9. Myocardial infarction, unstable coronary syndrome, or coronary revascularization within the prior 3 months.
10. Severe comorbidities with expected life expectancy \<12 months, including Child-Pugh C liver disease, end-stage malignancy, or advanced pulmonary disease.
11. Participation in another interventional clinical trial involving investigational devices or drugs.
12. Anatomical risk factors such as ascending aortic aneurysm (≥50 mm), bicuspid aortic valve with ascending aorta ≥45 mm, or other high-risk features identified on imaging.
13. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35%, indicating severe systolic dysfunction.
14. Severe renal insufficiency, e.g., estimated GFR \<30 mL/min/1.73 m² or requirement for chronic dialysis.
15. Coagulopathy or active bleeding disorders, e.g., INR \>1.5 without anticoagulation therapy.
16. Hematologic abnormalities: hematocrit \<30%, hemoglobin \<100 g/L, platelet count \<100 × 10⁹/L, or WBC \<4 × 10⁹/L or \>10 × 10⁹/L.
17. History of substance abuse, chronic alcoholism, or significant psychiatric illness impairing study compliance.
18. Preoperative or intraoperative anatomical unsuitability of the valve apparatus or cardiac structure.
19. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to polyurethane, polyester, or sulfonate-based biomaterials used in the valve prosthesis.
20. Withdrawal from the study after valve implantation (such participants are not allowed to re-enroll).
