Heart valve replacement through a catheter for leaky mitral valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a new way to replace a damaged mitral heart valve using a catheter (a thin tube), instead of open-heart surgery. It may help people who have severe leaking of the mitral valve but are considered too high-risk for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 65 years old
- Your mitral valve leak is severe (rated 3+ or higher)
- You are considered high-risk for open mitral valve surgery and not a surgical candidate
- You are expected to live more than 12 months
- You can sign informed consent (agree to join the study)
- You have not had prior mitral valve surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether a new catheter-based system can replace a badly leaking mitral valve in people who have symptoms. It may help if you can’t safely get current approved valve treatments or standard surgery.
This trial tests a new device that replaces a damaged mitral heart valve without open-heart surgery. It aims to help people whose leaky valve causes symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue, and who cannot have standard treatments.
This trial tests a new device that is placed using a thin tube through a vein in the leg to repair a leaky mitral valve in people with heart failure. The goal is to see if it can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life beyond what usual medications can do.
This trial studies a catheter-based procedure to replace the mitral valve in people with severe (or specific moderate) mitral valve leakage that causes symptoms. It may help by reducing leaking and related symptoms when standard surgery or less invasive fixes aren’t suitable for you.
This trial tests a new way to replace the mitral valve using a soft tube (catheter) inserted through the leg, for people with severe leaky mitral valve who are not candidates for traditional surgery or clip repair. It aims to see how well this valve works in real-world patients across Europe.
This study tests a new catheter-based system to treat severe mitral valve leaking when open-heart surgery is considered high risk. It may help improve blood flow and symptoms by repairing the valve without open surgery, using ultrasound guidance and follow-up visits to track safety and results.
