The Medtronic Intrepid™ valve is designed to be placed in the heart through a less invasive procedure that does not require cardiopulmonary bypass support, unlike a standard valve implant that requires open heart surgery.Patients will be randomized, like the flip of a coin, to receive either the Intrepid™ valve or traditional mitral valve surgery.
