IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT07321899Recruiting
Study of a new tricuspid valve replacement device for severe leakage
This trial tests a new device called the Medtronic Intrepid TTVR system to replace the tricuspid valve in people with severe tricuspid regurgitation (leaky valve). It aims to see if the device can safely and effectively fix the leak and improve symptoms.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 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.
Marietta, GeorgiaAges Any age - NCT04436653Recruiting
New valve procedure for severe right-sided leakage
This trial tests whether a new minimally invasive valve replacement device (put through a catheter) can improve health in people with severe right-sided tricuspid valve leaking. It’s for patients who are considered too high-risk for standard open-heart tricuspid surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT05194423Recruiting
LuX-Valve procedure for severe leaking tricuspid valve
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure (LuX-Valve placed through a neck vein) to treat severe leaking of the tricuspid valve. It may help people who are too high-risk for open-heart tricuspid surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT05742906Recruiting
Tricuspid valve repair using a new replacement valve patch
This trial studies a new valve replacement device (the Cor TRICUSPID ECM Valve) for people whose right-sided tricuspid valve is leaking or missing and needs surgery. It may help restore proper one-way blood flow in the heart, but you must meet several heart, blood, and organ-health requirements.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT06817148Recruiting
TAVR vs surgery for bicuspid aortic valve disease
This study compares two treatments for severe aortic stenosis in people with a bicuspid aortic valve: transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR, a less invasive procedure) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR, open-heart surgery). The goal is to see which approach works better for this specific condition.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06924151Recruiting
Surgery for Aortic Valve in Low Risk Patients
This trial tests if surgery to replace your aortic valve is safe and effective for people with severe aortic stenosis who are at low risk for complications. It compares surgery to another procedure to see which works best.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges Any age - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07516145Recruiting
Robotic catheter repair for leaky tricuspid heart valve
This trial tests a new robotic catheter procedure to repair a leaky tricuspid valve (the valve on the right side of your heart). Instead of open-heart surgery, doctors thread a tiny device through a vein in your neck to fix the valve. It may be an option if you have severe leaking and your heart team thinks surgery is too risky for you.
ShatinAges 18–90 - NCT05202977Enrolling by invitation
TAVR valve replacement for older adults with aortic valve narrowing
This trial tests a newer transcatheter (catheter-based) aortic valve replacement device to improve symptoms and safety in older adults with severe aortic stenosis. You may qualify if you’re too high-risk for open-heart surgery and the valve/artery measurements fit the device.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 65 years+ - NCT06800781Recruiting
Chest tube duration to prevent afib after heart surgery
This trial tests if leaving a chest tube in a little longer after heart surgery can lower the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It's for people having certain planned heart surgeries who have not had this rhythm problem before.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT03143361Recruiting
Aortic valve replacement registry for adults needing valve surgery
This study follows adults who are having aortic valve replacement to better understand outcomes across different hospitals in Europe. It may help your care team compare results and improve future treatment planning.
VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT06830499Recruiting
Sapien 3 valve for younger Chinese patients with severe aortic stenosis
This trial tests a newer artificial heart valve (Sapien 3) placed through a small tube in the leg, for younger people (50–70) with severe aortic stenosis. It aims to see if this less invasive option works well in this age group.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 50–70 - NCT05310461Recruiting
Early or delayed valve surgery for mixed heart valve disease
This study compares doing aortic valve replacement sooner versus waiting, in people with moderate aortic valve narrowing plus at least moderate leakage in the mitral valve. It aims to see which timing improves heart symptoms and outcomes while keeping treatment safe.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06917586Recruiting
Mosaic mitral valve study for patients under 65
This study looks at long-term results in people under 65 who received a specific type of replacement heart valve (the Mosaic mitral valve) during surgery at ProMedica Toledo Hospital. It aims to understand how well the valve works over time.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT06953206Recruiting
Long-term study of a new heart valve for aortic stenosis
This study is testing a new heart valve called the SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve for people with severe aortic stenosis. Researchers want to see how well it works and how safe it is over 10 years after a minimally invasive valve replacement procedure called TAVI.
Bad Oeynhausen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07125469Recruiting
Comparing CT scan measurements to surgery findings for aortic valve replacement
This study checks if measurements taken from a CT scan before surgery match the actual size of the valve measured during surgery. It may help doctors choose the best valve size for people with severe aortic stenosis who need valve replacement.
Cotignola, RavennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07466745Recruiting
New Pulmonary Valve Study for Kids Needing Replacement
This study tests a new type of replacement valve for children who need a new pulmonary valve (the valve between the heart and lungs). Researchers want to see if the valve works safely and well in real-world use.
