Recruiting studies near Houston
- 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.

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.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 21 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06145035RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells from cord blood for heart failure
This trial tests whether stem cells from donated umbilical cord blood can improve heart function in people with heart failure caused by blocked arteries. You'll receive one or more infusions of these cells through a vein.
Houston, TexasAges 21–85 - 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.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04073420Recruiting
Cardiac surgery registry to track Medtronic device outcomes
This registry collects real-world information from people who have had—or plan to have—an eligible Medtronic cardiac surgery device. It aims to better understand how these treatments do over time and help guide future care.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - 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.

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.
