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 study is testing if a special heart monitor can help patients who need mitral valve repair surgery. If you are scheduled for this surgery, the monitor will be placed during your procedure to track your heart function and recovery.
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 study tests a new way to plan a less-invasive mitral valve repair procedure. It uses images from your echocardiogram (a heart ultrasound) to help doctors decide if you're a good candidate for a clip that fixes the leaking valve. It only includes people with significant mitral valve leakage who don't have other major heart valve problems.
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 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.
