CardioClip study: testing a new valve repair for leaky heart valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate to severe or severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve).
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is between 20% and 50%.
- You have heart failure symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue during mild activity.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to join the study.
- Your heart valve's shape allows for a clip procedure (mitral valve edge-to-edge repair).
- You are not allergic to aspirin or clopidogrel.

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 Valveclip, a catheter-based way to repair a mitral valve that is leaking badly. It may help people who are high-risk for open surgery by aiming to reduce the leak with a less invasive approach.
This study tests a new device to fix a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people with severe symptoms who are too high-risk for traditional surgery. The procedure uses a clip to help the valve close better.
This study tests a new catheter-based system to treat severe mitral valve leaking when open-heart surgery is considered high risk. It may help improve blood flow and symptoms by repairing the valve without open surgery, using ultrasound guidance and follow-up visits to track safety and results.
This trial tests whether using only ultrasound (echo) to guide a mitral valve clip repair is as good as using ultrasound plus X-ray. The study may help patients with a leaky mitral valve who are not good candidates for open heart surgery.
This study is testing a new assist system to help doctors perform a minimally invasive procedure (MitraClip) that clips the leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people with severe mitral regurgitation who cannot safely have surgery or choose not to.
