Tricuspid valve repair alongside left heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether fixing the tricuspid valve at the same time as left heart surgery is beneficial for patients with mild tricuspid regurgitation. It may help improve heart function and reduce future symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are having left heart valve surgery (for example, on the mitral or aortic valve).
- You have mild tricuspid regurgitation (the tricuspid valve leaks a little).
- You do not have an active infection in the heart lining (endocarditis) in the last 3 months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have no severe mental health, drug, or alcohol issues that would interfere.

This trial studies a catheter-based repair to help fix a leaky tricuspid valve (regurgitation), especially when you’re also having another heart surgery. It aims to improve valve function and symptoms while tracking safety and outcomes.
This study tests a new catheter-based device to repair a leaky tricuspid heart valve (tricuspid regurgitation) in people who still have symptoms like shortness of breath or swelling despite taking heart medications. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and can help reduce the leak.
This trial tests a catheter-based procedure (done through the blood vessels) to repair a severely leaky tricuspid valve. It may help people with symptoms or past hospitalizations from tricuspid valve leakage who are higher-risk for standard surgery.
This study looks at whether fixing a mildly leaky tricuspid valve during LVAD surgery improves outcomes for people with advanced heart failure. It’s mainly aimed at patients who are already scheduled to receive an implantable LVAD.
This study is collecting information about people with severe tricuspid regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) who are having a catheter-based repair. The goal is to better understand these patients and how well the procedure works for them.
This study tests a new device to fix a leaking tricuspid valve (the valve that helps blood flow from the heart to the lungs) without open-heart surgery. It is for people with severe leaking that causes symptoms like shortness of breath or tiredness, and who are not good candidates for surgery.
