Valveclip repair study for leaking mitral valve in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests Valveclip, a catheter-based way to repair a mitral valve that is leaking badly. It may help people who are high-risk for open surgery by aiming to reduce the leak with a less invasive approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe mitral valve leaking (moderate or worse, often described as 3+ or higher)
- Your age is 70 or older, or you are 60–70 and considered high-risk for regular open surgery
- Your heart pump strength is not too low (left ventricle ejection fraction at least 30%)
- You can have the procedure through a catheter route (doctors say your valve/heart shape fits this plan)
- Your valve leak comes from the A2/P2 parts of the mitral valve, and the valve measurements meet specific limits
- You agree to the trial, sign consent, and return for required tests and follow-up

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a clip-based procedure (TEER) to fix a severe leak in the mitral valve for people who have symptoms or heart changes but are at low to medium risk for surgery. The goal is to see if this less invasive option works well and is safe.
This trial studies whether a device called GeminiOne can safely and effectively repair a leaky mitral valve using a catheter-based “clip” technique. It may help patients who have moderate-to-severe or severe valve leakage but are considered too high-risk for open surgery.
This study tests a new clip procedure (CardioClip) to repair a leaky mitral valve in people with heart failure. It aims to see if the clip can improve symptoms and heart function.
This trial tests a new device called the Capstan system to fix a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation) without open-heart surgery. It may help people whose valve leak is moderate to severe and still have symptoms despite medicines.
This study tests a new device to fix a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people with severe symptoms who are too high-risk for traditional surgery. The procedure uses a clip to help the valve close better.
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.
