Testing a new mitral valve repair device
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called AMEND™ that is placed through a vein in the leg to repair a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people with significant mitral regurgitation who are at high risk for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 21.
- You have moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation (leaky valve) that causes symptoms like shortness of breath.
- Your heart's pumping strength is more than 30%, and the main pumping chamber is not too enlarged.
- You are considered high-risk for open-heart surgery by your heart team.
- You have been stable on heart failure medications for at least one month.

This trial tests a new catheter-based device to fix a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people whose severe mitral regurgitation puts them at high risk for traditional surgery.
This trial tests a new device designed to fix a leaky mitral valve in people with heart failure. It may help you breathe easier and feel less tired if your valve leak is severe and medicines have not been enough.
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 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 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 a new device called the SATURN system, which places a new mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people aged 65 and older with severe mitral regurgitation who are at high risk for surgery.
