Mitral valve replacement: keeping part of the valve support
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to replace the mitral valve in people with rheumatic heart disease. It tests whether keeping part of the natural valve support leads to better outcomes, and may help you if you need this surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have rheumatic mitral valve disease and need a mitral valve replacement.
- You may have other valve problems too.
- You have not had previous mitral valve or other heart surgery.
- Your mitral valve problem is not caused by heart attack or poor blood flow.
- Your surgery is not an emergency, and you do not have severe lung or kidney disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a replacement valve (called MITRIS) for people whose own mitral valve or a previous artificial valve is not working well. The goal is to see how well the valve works over time after it is implanted.
This early-stage trial tests a new device called the ReValve System that replaces a damaged mitral valve (the valve that controls blood flow in your heart). The study is for people with a weakened heart who have leaking mitral valves and are experiencing heart failure symptoms.
This trial tests a phase one cardiac rehabilitation program for people who have had their mitral or aortic heart valve replaced. It aims to see if the rehab helps recovery. You might qualify if you had planned (not emergency) valve surgery and are stable enough for light exercise.
This study is for people with severe mitral valve leakage (mitral regurgitation) who may need a valve replacement. It tests whether the ReValve system is safe and can help improve symptoms and heart function.
This study looks at people who had their mitral valve replaced to see if the original valve problem (tight vs leaky) affects how long the new valve lasts. It may help doctors understand which patients need closer follow-up.
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.
