Sizing device for heart valve repair surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new tool to help surgeons choose the right size ring during mitral valve repair surgery. It may make the repair fit better and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have surgery to repair your mitral valve
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are not having an emergency operation
- You do not have an active heart valve infection

This study tests a biological (tissue) heart valve replacement system designed to be easier to change later. It may help people who need valve surgery because their valve is narrowed or damaged.
This trial tests a device placed during open heart surgery that tightens the leaking mitral valve to reduce blood flowing backward. It may help people whose valve leak is caused by heart muscle weakness and who are already having another heart surgery.
This study follows people who are going to get certain types of heart valve repair rings or bands. It aims to track safety and outcomes after the Abbott device is implanted in routine care over follow-up visits.
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 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.
This trial evaluates a measuring tool used during aortic valve surgery. It may help surgeons size the valve opening more accurately when treating valve leakage or a dilated (enlarged) ascending aorta.
