Negative pressure ventilation and heart function study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a breathing machine called negative pressure ventilation to see if it helps heart function in patients getting a procedure to repair the tricuspid valve (the valve between the right upper and lower heart chambers).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a procedure called tricuspid clipping, which repairs a heart valve.
- You do not have unstable breathing or blood pressure issues.
- You can fit into the cuirass, which is a special shell placed on your chest for the breathing machine.
- A study doctor is available to check on you during the procedure.

This study looks at how a breathing machine that uses negative pressure (like a vacuum) affects the heart and blood flow in people who have a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), a type of heart pump. It may help doctors learn the best way to support breathing after surgery.
This trial tests whether a new minimally invasive valve replacement device (put through a catheter) can improve health in people with severe right-sided tricuspid valve leaking. It’s for patients who are considered too high-risk for standard open-heart tricuspid surgery.
This study tracks patients with weak heart pumps and leaky tricuspid valves (a valve on the right side of the heart) who receive a minimally invasive repair procedure. The goal is to understand how this treatment affects patients' heart function and quality of life over time.
This trial tests a new way to closely monitor heart function during tricuspid valve repair or replacement. A tiny sensor is placed in your lung artery to track pressure, helping doctors adjust your care remotely.
This study uses a special 3D heart ultrasound to measure how well the tricuspid valve and right side of the heart are working. It may help improve how these conditions are evaluated and followed over time.
This study looks at how the level of pressure from a breathing machine affects blood flow back to the heart in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). It may help doctors find the best settings to protect your heart while helping your lungs.
