Repairing the tricuspid valve during left-heart valve surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether doing a tricuspid valve repair at the same time as left-heart valve surgery is helpful for people who have mild tricuspid valve leakage. It may reduce future valve problems, but your eligibility depends on your heart valve type and recent health history.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have left-heart valve surgery
- You have mild leakage of the tricuspid valve (not severe)
- Your age is between 18 and 80 years
- You can and agree to sign informed consent to join the study
- You are not currently pregnant, and you are not breastfeeding

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 trial looks at whether adding a specific repair to the right valve (called tricuspid annuloplasty) during mitral valve surgery helps people whose right valve leakage is not severe. It compares doing the extra right-valve repair versus doing only the mitral valve repair.
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.
