New tricuspid valve replacement for leaky or absent valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special replacement valve (an “ECM valve”) for people whose tricuspid valve is leaky or missing and needs surgery. It may help restore blood flow on the right side of the heart and is designed for certain children born with congenital heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need surgery because your tricuspid valve is leaky or missing
- Your team can do this with other heart procedures if needed (not an emergency)
- You (or a parent/guardian) can understand the study and agree to follow-up visits
- You can travel to the study site for required follow-up, or you already live nearby
- For children: your congenital condition must use the right-sided (tricuspid) valve as the working valve

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.
This trial tests a new device called TricValve, which is placed through a catheter (a thin tube) to fix a leaky tricuspid valve on the right side of the heart. It aims to reduce blood flowing backward and improve heart failure symptoms for people who can't have open-heart surgery and haven't been helped by other catheter treatments.
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.
This trial tests a new device called the Laplace system, which replaces the tricuspid valve in your heart without open-heart surgery. It is designed for people with severe tricuspid regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) who still have symptoms despite taking medications.
This trial tests a new catheter-based procedure that replaces the tricuspid valve to reduce severe valve leaking. It may help people who still have symptoms despite heart medicines, but only if their heart shape and other health details fit the device requirements.
This trial tests a new device that replaces a leaky tricuspid valve (a heart valve) without open-heart surgery. If your tricuspid valve isn't working well and medicines haven't helped enough, this procedure might improve your heart function and symptoms.
