Blood thinner study after heart valve repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests different blood-thinning medicines after a mitral valve repair procedure (TEER) in people who do not need long-term blood thinners. It aims to find the safest and most effective strategy to prevent blood clots.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had a successful mitral valve repair with a TEER procedure.
- You must not need long-term blood thinners for another condition.
- You cannot have severe kidney disease or be on dialysis.
- You cannot have had a recent stroke, bleeding ulcer, or stomach bleed in the past year.
- You must not have a low platelet count or serious liver disease.
- You must not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

This study tests different ways to use blood thinners after a minimally invasive heart valve repair procedure. It may help patients who need long-term blood thinning to prevent clots or stroke.
This study compares the best way to give blood thinners around certain heart procedures (TEER or left atrial appendage closure). It aims to lower the risk of dangerous clots and bleeding during and after the procedure.
This trial studies which blood-thinning medicine combination is safest and most helpful after coronary bypass surgery combined with a procedure to unblock the artery (endarterectomy). It focuses on preventing dangerous blood clots while also avoiding excess bleeding.
This trial is testing whether a newer type of blood thinner (called a NOAC) can be used safely right after a heart attack or related event, in addition to the standard two antiplatelet medicines. It focuses on patients who have higher risk signs, like elevated D-dimer levels or a higher PARIS risk score, to see if this approach is safe and effective at preventing future heart problems.
This trial tests whether stopping and restarting a blood thinner (NOAC) in stages around your heart device implant surgery is safer than the standard approach. The goal is to reduce bleeding while keeping blood clots at bay.
This trial is for people who have had a TAVI procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve, and it tests whether it is safe to skip blood thinners afterward. The goal is to find the best way to protect your health without unnecessary medication.
