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 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 study tests a clip device to fix a leaky tricuspid valve without open-heart surgery. It may help people who have symptoms like breathlessness or swelling and are not good candidates for surgery.
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.
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 trial tests a procedure that uses a small clip to fix a leaky tricuspid valve in the heart. The goal is to reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, and help you feel better in your daily life.
