AltaValve study for leaky mitral valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, less invasive device called the AltaValve to treat a leaky mitral valve. It is for people whose leak is severe enough to cause symptoms, but who cannot have standard surgery or a clip procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) that causes symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue, even with the best medications.
- A heart team has decided you are not a candidate for open-heart surgery or a less invasive clip procedure (TEER).
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant during the study.
- You are not currently enrolled in any other investigational clinical trial.

This trial studies a new catheter-based valve replacement system for people with moderate to severe, or severe, mitral valve regurgitation (a leaky mitral valve). It aims to check whether the procedure is safe and can improve heart function compared with expected care.
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 studies a newer, catheter-based mitral valve treatment in people with moderate-severe to severe mitral valve leaking who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. It may help improve symptoms and heart function without traditional surgery, but you must meet key heart, anatomy, and safety requirements.
This study checks whether an innovative device can safely replace a damaged mitral valve in people who are higher risk for open-heart surgery. It looks at how well the procedure and follow-up work for improving mitral leakage symptoms.
This study looks at how safe and effective a specific catheter procedure is for people with moderate-to-severe mitral valve leakage. It may help those who are considered high risk for traditional open-heart surgery.
This study looks at how long a new mitral valve treatment/device can stay working in people with moderate-to-severe or severe mitral valve leak. It may help avoid or delay surgery for people considered higher risk for mitral valve repair.
