Monitoring left atrial pressure before and after mitral valve repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tracks left atrial pressure (the pressure in the upper left chamber of the heart) before and after mitral valve repair surgery. It aims to see if this monitoring helps improve recovery and long-term outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky mitral valve) caused by a specific degenerative condition.
- You are scheduled to have mitral valve repair surgery.
- You have a certain pressure difference between the left and right upper heart chambers (≥5 mmHg).
- Your lung blood vessel resistance is within a normal range (≤4 Wood units).

This trial compares doing mitral valve repair early with closely monitoring symptoms instead, for people who have severe leakage but feel well. It may help determine whether early surgery prevents future heart problems without causing unnecessary risk.
This study looks at heart rhythm problems in people having mitral valve surgery to fix a leaky valve. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk for dangerous rhythms.
This study tests a new device called the MRace implant that is designed to repair a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It may help people with severe leakage who are at high risk for traditional surgery.
This study looks at how well CT scans and 3D echo (ultrasound) measure the mitral valve ring before surgery for severe mitral valve leakage. It may help doctors better plan valve repair.
This trial tests a new device called MRace that may fix a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It's for people whose valve leaks severely and who can't have standard surgery due to other health issues.
This study looks at whether an extra heart ultrasound measurement can help predict recovery after mitral valve surgery. It may help doctors know more about your condition before and after the operation.
