Enhanced counterpulsation after mitral valve repair (PAMPER)
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP)—a noninvasive therapy that uses leg cuffs to improve blood flow—in people who have had a mitral valve repair procedure (TEER). It may help reduce the strain on your heart after the repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have given your consent to be in the study.
- You are older than 18.
- You have moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky mitral valve).
- You have had a procedure called TEER (transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair) to fix your valve.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a clip-based procedure (TEER) to fix a severe leak in the mitral valve for people who have symptoms or heart changes but are at low to medium risk for surgery. The goal is to see if this less invasive option works well and is safe.
This trial tests whether a special brain protection device can help reduce the risk of stroke during a common mitral valve repair procedure. It is for people with severe mitral regurgitation (leaky valve) who are already scheduled to have this repair.
This trial tests a catheter-based procedure to repair a leaking mitral valve in people who are in severe heart shock and need medication support. The goal is to reduce the valve leak and see if it helps patients stabilize and recover.
This trial tests a new device called the Capstan system to fix a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation) without open-heart surgery. It may help people whose valve leak is moderate to severe and still have symptoms despite medicines.
This trial tests a less invasive procedure (edge-to-edge mitral valve repair) for people with ATTR-CM and a leaky mitral valve. It aims to see if this repair can help improve symptoms compared to standard medical therapy alone.
This study tests a new clip procedure (CardioClip) to repair a leaky mitral valve in people with heart failure. It aims to see if the clip can improve symptoms and heart function.
