Studying mitral valve repair for atrial regurgitation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure (transcatheter edge-to-edge repair) to fix a leaky mitral valve caused by an enlarged atrium, not by heart muscle damage. It might be an option if your mitral regurgitation is related to atrial issues and your heart's pumping strength is normal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mitral regurgitation caused by functional/atrial factors (not structural valve damage).
- Your left ventricle's pumping ability (ejection fraction) is at least 50%.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have known wall movement abnormalities in your heart.

This trial tests a procedure that combines two treatments for people with atrial fibrillation and a leaky mitral valve that causes symptoms. The procedure aims to fix the valve leak and restore normal heart rhythm, which may improve quality of life and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a treatment for people with atrial fibrillation who also have a leaky mitral valve. It aims to see if treating both conditions together can improve symptoms.
This trial tests a clip repair device for a type of leaky mitral valve caused by heart failure or atrial fibrillation (not by other valve problems). It aims to improve symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue.
This trial studies an “epicardial” device placed during planned heart surgery to reduce mitral valve leaking (“mitral regurgitation”). If you have moderate-to-severe valve leak from ischemic heart disease and are already scheduled for heart surgery, this may help improve how well the valve works.
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure using a clip to fix a leaky mitral valve caused by an enlarged heart (atrial functional mitral regurgitation) in people with heart failure who are not good candidates for open-heart surgery. The clip helps the valve close better, which may reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
This study is gathering information from people getting a less invasive procedure called M-TEER to fix a leaky mitral valve. Joining helps doctors learn more about how this treatment works in real life.
