Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT07214376Recruiting
Nerve ablation for pulmonary hypertension from left heart disease
This trial tests a device that uses a catheter to deliver energy to nerves around the pulmonary arteries, aiming to reduce high blood pressure in the lungs caused by left heart failure. It is for people with ongoing heart failure symptoms despite optimal medications.
Mechanicsburg, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - 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.
Harrisburg, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06027788Recruiting
Embolic protection during heart valve surgery
This trial tests a device that may help protect your brain from small particles during heart valve surgery. It is for people 60 and older having certain types of valve replacement or repair.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06590467Recruiting
Abbott heart device registry study
This registry is a large, ongoing study that collects information about Abbott heart devices used in routine care. It helps doctors learn how well these devices work and how patients are doing over time, without changing your treatment plan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Mechanicsburg, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 21 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Wynnewood, PennsylvaniaAges 18 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.
Harrisburg, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there heart valve diseases clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 19 recruiting heart valve diseases studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a heart valve diseases study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a heart valve diseases trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
