Heart valve repair/stenting test for leaky mitral valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a catheter-based procedure to treat a leaky mitral valve (either FMR or DMR, depending on the group you’re in). It may help reduce symptoms and improve heart function in people who are sick from valve leakage but are able to undergo this specific approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your heart failure symptoms are in NYHA Class II, III, or IV (moderate to severe symptoms)
- You have a significant mitral valve leakage (FMR) or a specific mitral valve problem on ultrasound (DMR) in the study’s defined ranges
- Your heart ultrasound and doctors confirm there is no clot, tumor, or infection on the heart valve (no thrombus/vegetation)
- You can safely have a catheter put in through a vein and access the heart from the side of the heart (transseptal approach) and you have the right anatomy for a large catheter

This trial tests whether a catheter-based procedure can safely repair a leaking mitral heart valve in people who still have symptoms despite best medical treatment. If you qualify, it may improve symptoms and heart function without open-heart surgery.
This pilot study tests a newer catheter-based way to reduce leakage of the mitral valve in people who feel sick from mitral regurgitation but are considered too high-risk for standard surgery. If you fit the valve and heart anatomy needs, the study may help improve symptoms and valve function without open-heart surgery.
This trial tests the safety and effectiveness of a heart procedure that repairs a leaking mitral valve through thin tubes, using the Dragonfly system. It’s for people who have significant mitral valve leak symptoms but are considered high risk for open-heart surgery.
This trial tests a new device (DragonFly M2) to fix a leaky mitral valve. It's for people with moderate to severe or severe chronic mitral regurgitation who may be able to have the procedure done through a vein in the leg.
This trial tests a catheter-based procedure (putting a small device through blood vessels) to repair a leaking mitral valve caused by heart muscle problems. It aims to reduce symptoms and improve heart function and safety in people who are still having heart failure symptoms despite standard treatment.
This trial tests a device called the Dragonfly system to fix a leaky mitral valve caused by heart muscle problems. It may help people with symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue from this condition.
