Best practices for heart failure with leaky mitral valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatment approaches for people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation). It aims to find which strategy leads to better outcomes. You may be eligible if your heart function is reduced and you have symptoms despite standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have a moderate or worse leaky mitral valve caused by a weak heart muscle
- Your heart pumps at 50% or less of normal (LVEF 50% or less)
- You have symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue (NYHA class II, III, or IV)
- You are not a candidate for mitral valve surgery
- Your NT-proBNP is 1500 or higher, or BNP is 300 or higher
- You are willing to follow the study plan and come for follow-up visits
- You do not have severe lung disease, recent stroke, or active infections

This trial studies whether the MitraClip procedure can improve outcomes for people with advanced heart failure caused by significant leakage of the mitral valve. It focuses on people who still have severe symptoms and poor quality of life despite the best available heart medications.
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.
This study looks at how well a clip (MitraClip G4) fixes a leaky heart valve in people with heart failure. If you are scheduled for this procedure, joining may help doctors learn more about the benefits of the clip.
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.
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 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.
