Testing a new mitral valve replacement for high-risk patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether an innovative device can safely replace a damaged mitral valve in people who are higher risk for open-heart surgery. It looks at how well the procedure and follow-up work for improving mitral leakage symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 years or older
- You have moderate-to-severe or severe mitral valve leakage (at least 3+)
- Your heart symptoms are class II, III, or you can walk but have class IV symptoms
- You’ve been on the recommended heart medicines for at least one month
- A heart team says you’re high-risk for open-heart surgery and you match the valve’s body-size/shape needs
- A detailed heart ultrasound test (TEE) can be safely done for you

This trial studies a newer, catheter-based mitral valve treatment in people with moderate-severe to severe mitral valve leaking who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. It may help improve symptoms and heart function without traditional surgery, but you must meet key heart, anatomy, and safety requirements.
This trial studies a new catheter-based valve replacement system for people with moderate to severe, or severe, mitral valve regurgitation (a leaky mitral valve). It aims to check whether the procedure is safe and can improve heart function compared with expected care.
This study tests a new device that replaces a leaking mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It may help people who have severe mitral valve leakage but cannot safely have standard surgery or some other less invasive valve repairs.
This study looks at how long a new mitral valve treatment/device can stay working in people with moderate-to-severe or severe mitral valve leak. It may help avoid or delay surgery for people considered higher risk for mitral valve repair.
This trial tests a new, less invasive device called the AltaValve to treat a leaky mitral valve. It is for people whose leak is severe enough to cause symptoms, but who cannot have standard surgery or a clip procedure.
This study looks at how safe and effective a specific catheter procedure is for people with moderate-to-severe mitral valve leakage. It may help those who are considered high risk for traditional open-heart surgery.
