Testing heart scan predictions after mitral valve repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies severe secondary mitral valve leaking and uses heart imaging to predict how well the heart and symptoms improve after a less-invasive valve procedure. It may help doctors better forecast who benefits most from this repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe secondary mitral valve leak (based on specific echo/heart measurement thresholds).
- You feel symptoms from your heart condition at least “NYHA class II” or higher.
- Your heart pumping strength (left ventricular ejection fraction) is between 15% and 50%.
- You’ve been on the best standard heart-failure treatment your care team recommends, and heart surgery for the mitral valve isn’t an option for you.
- You must be able to understand the study and sign written consent.

This study uses MRI scans to take detailed pictures of the heart before and after a valve repair procedure. It helps doctors better understand how these new, less invasive treatments affect heart function.
This trial focuses on people with severe mitral valve narrowing or leaking who still have symptoms even after the best usual medications. It may help find better care and measure health outcomes when surgery is judged too risky or not suitable.
This study looks at how well CT scans and 3D echo (ultrasound) measure the mitral valve ring before surgery for severe mitral valve leakage. It may help doctors better plan valve repair.
This trial tests a catheter-based procedure to repair a leaking mitral valve in people who are in severe heart shock and need medication support. The goal is to reduce the valve leak and see if it helps patients stabilize and recover.
This trial compares doing mitral valve repair early versus closely monitoring without surgery in people who have severe leakage but no symptoms. It aims to see whether early repair helps prevent future heart problems.
This study at Mayo Clinic uses MRI and other tests to see how the heart's main pumping chamber changes shape after robot-assisted mitral valve repair surgery for severe mitral regurgitation. It may help doctors better understand how patients recover.
