Clip procedure to repair a leaking tricuspid valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a minimally invasive “edge-to-edge” clip procedure to reduce severe leakage of the tricuspid valve. It’s for people who still feel unwell despite standard treatments and may be too high-risk for open-heart surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart symptoms despite usual care (shortness of breath/limited activity) and are in NYHA class II, III, or “ambulatory” class IV.
- Your echo scans show severe tricuspid valve leakage (grade 3 or higher) confirmed by the trial team.
- Your heart surgeon believes traditional tricuspid valve surgery is high risk for you.
- You are at least 18 years old and can sign consent before any trial procedures.
- Your blood pressure and lung blood vessel pressure are not too high or uncontrolled (your team will check with tests).

This study tests a new device to fix a leaky tricuspid valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people with severe leakage who are considered too high-risk for traditional surgery.
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive “clip” procedure can safely improve tricuspid valve leakage (a heart valve that doesn’t close tightly). It focuses on older adults who are considered too high-risk for open-heart surgery and still have enough heart pumping strength to benefit.
This study follows adults with a severely leaky tricuspid heart valve who still have symptoms despite medication. It looks at outcomes after a procedure called TriClip, which helps reduce valve leakage.
This trial studies whether a heart procedure called K-Clip TM helps people with severe “secondary” tricuspid valve leakage who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. It aims to improve symptoms and valve function using a less-invasive, catheter-based repair.
This study tests a device called TriClip to repair a leaky tricuspid valve in the heart. If the leak is reduced, you may have less shortness of breath and feel more energetic.
This study is testing whether the TriClip device helps people with severe tricuspid regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) feel better. It compares people who received the TriClip to those who didn't get the procedure.
