Recruiting studies near Chicago
- NCT05610787Enrolling by invitation
Testing a device that helps move an EXCOR pediatric heart pump
This trial studies an “active driving” system that controls the EXCOR pediatric heart pump. It’s meant for children who need a heart pump as a bridge to heart transplantation, to help the pump work more safely and effectively.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 21 years - NCT05172960Recruiting
Study of a new heart valve for severe aortic stenosis
This trial tests a new version of a heart valve (SAPIEN X4) placed without open-heart surgery. It's for people with severe aortic stenosis who have symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT03142152Recruiting
Mitral valve implant for heart failure with leaky mitral valve
This trial tests whether a device called the Carillon Mitral Contour System can help people with heart failure caused by a mild-to-moderate leaky mitral valve. You’d be compared against a control group, and the goal is to improve heart failure symptoms and outcomes.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03826264Recruiting
Research registry for people getting TAVR
This is a research registry that collects information about people who receive TAVR, a procedure to help open a narrowed heart valve. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care, but it is not designed as a drug or device trial by itself.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 19 years+ - NCT06911632Recruiting
AI-assisted check for pulmonary hypertension in interstitial lung disease
This study uses an AI tool to help doctors decide if you should be tested for pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), which can be a complication of interstitial lung disease. If the tool suggests you might have it, you may get an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) and a right heart catheterization (a test to measure pressure in the heart) to find out for sure.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06310031Recruiting
Testing BrioVAD heart pump for severe heart failure
This trial tests a new left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) called BrioVAD for people with advanced heart failure who are not getting enough benefit from medicines. If you qualify, the device is implanted to help your heart pump blood.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–100 - NCT04097145Recruiting
Heart valve repair for severe leaking tricuspid valve
This trial tests a catheter-based procedure (done through the blood vessels) to repair a severely leaky tricuspid valve. It may help people with symptoms or past hospitalizations from tricuspid valve leakage who are higher-risk for standard surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06455787Recruiting
J-Valve study for leaky aortic valve patients
This study tests a new, less invasive device called J-Valve for people with severe aortic regurgitation (a leaky aortic valve). It is placed through a tube in the leg artery, avoiding open-heart surgery, and may help those who are at high risk for surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05913908Recruiting
Valve procedure study for severe tricuspid leakage
This trial tests how well a new catheter-based valve system works for people with severe (or worse) tricuspid valve leaking who still have symptoms despite medicines. It aims to improve outcomes by treating the leaking valve without open-heart surgery, if your heart structure and overall health fit the study.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05932615Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new transcatheter valve for aortic valve narrowing
This trial studies how safe and effective the NAVITOR valve is for treating narrowed aortic valves placed through a catheter (no open-heart surgery). It may be an option if you’re at intermediate-to-low surgical risk and meet heart ultrasound/CT measurements.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07069673Recruiting
Abbott Cephea mitral valve disease registry
This study tracks people with mitral valve disease who receive the Cephea valve through a tube in an artery rather than open-heart surgery. It looks at how well the valve works over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04634240Recruiting
Staged heart bypass plus TAVR versus TAVR alone
This study compares doing a staged coronary bypass (revascularization) along with a valve procedure (TAVR) versus doing TAVR and medical treatment alone. It aims to see which approach better helps people with both aortic valve narrowing and coronary artery disease.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT06506942Recruiting
TRICURE device study for leaky heart valve
This study tests a new device to help people with severe tricuspid regurgitation (leaky heart valve) who are at higher risk from surgery. It aims to see if the device can reduce the leak and improve symptoms.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06526195Recruiting
A study of CardioMEMS and HeartMate 3 for advanced heart failure
This trial tests if a combination of a tiny lung-artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS) and a mechanical heart pump (HeartMate 3) is safe and effective for people with advanced heart failure. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05172973Recruiting
New valve procedure for failing aortic bioprosthetic valves
This trial studies whether a new transcatheter aortic valve (SAPIEN X4) is safe and works well in people whose previously implanted aortic valve is now failing. It may help reduce valve symptoms in higher-surgery-risk patients who are not good candidates for open-heart valve replacement.
Evanston, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT06137807Recruiting
TricValve for severe tricuspid regurgitation
This trial is testing a new device called the TricValve to treat severe tricuspid regurgitation (a leaky heart valve on the right side). It is for people who still have symptoms despite taking heart failure medications.
Glenview, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04451044Enrolling by invitation
Guided heart stent planning using an inside pressure sensor
This study tests whether using a tiny pressure sensor in heart arteries during a procedure can better guide where to place a stent. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective stent plan by more accurately measuring artery narrowing.

What taking part in a heart valve diseases study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
