Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04408430Recruiting
Valve replacement for severe mitral valve disease in high-risk adults
This trial tests a less-invasive way to treat severe mitral valve problems using a transcatheter valve. It may help people who are too high-risk for standard open-heart mitral surgery by improving symptoms and heart function.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05386173Recruiting
Tests fetal aortic valve balloon surgery for severe narrowing
This trial studies whether doing a procedure before birth to open a baby’s aortic valve improves outcomes. It compares this approach in a specific group of pregnancies with severe heart flow problems seen on ultrasound.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 5 months–7 months - 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05933083Recruiting
In-person vs telehealth heart rehab comparison study
This study compares whether heart rehabilitation done in person or by telehealth (video/phone) works as well for people with certain heart conditions. It may help you and others choose the safest and most effective way to receive cardiac rehab.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02744677Recruiting
Pulmonary valve procedure to improve blood flow issues
This trial studies a transcatheter pulmonary valve (a valve placed through a catheter) in people whose right-sided outflow tract valve/conduit is not working well. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce pressure problems, while checking safety and results after the procedure.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - 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.

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
