Early or delayed valve surgery for mixed heart valve disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares doing aortic valve replacement sooner versus waiting, in people with moderate aortic valve narrowing plus at least moderate leakage in the mitral valve. It aims to see which timing improves heart symptoms and outcomes while keeping treatment safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your aortic valve narrowing is moderate (not mild or severe) based on ultrasound measurements
- You have at least moderate mitral valve leakage on ultrasound
- Your heart symptoms are at least moderate (NYHA class 2 or higher)
- You are expected to live at least 1 year

This trial tests whether replacing a badly narrowed aortic valve earlier—even when you feel fine—can prevent future heart problems. It compares early valve replacement (through a catheter or surgery) versus standard watchful waiting.
This study looks at whether replacing a narrowed heart valve early helps people who have severe aortic stenosis but no symptoms. You would be randomly assigned to early valve replacement or careful waiting with regular check-ups.
This trial compares two approaches for people with a leaking aortic valve but no symptoms: early surgery or careful monitoring (“watchful waiting”). It aims to see which strategy better prevents future heart problems and when surgery is most helpful.
This study looks at how safe and effective an emergency heart valve replacement is for people with severe aortic stenosis who are in critical condition. It may help if you have severe symptoms like shock or unstable chest pain that need urgent treatment.
This trial tests if surgery to replace your aortic valve is safe and effective for people with severe aortic stenosis who are at low risk for complications. It compares surgery to another procedure to see which works best.
This trial compares a new catheter-based valve (J-Valve) with open-heart surgery for people with severe aortic regurgitation, a condition where the aortic valve doesn't close tightly. It aims to see which treatment is safer and more effective.
