Assist system for mitral valve clip procedure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new assist system to help doctors perform a minimally invasive procedure (MitraClip) that clips the leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people with severe mitral regurgitation who cannot safely have surgery or choose not to.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have moderate-to-severe or severe mitral valve leakage (called mitral regurgitation).
- Surgery to fix the valve is not safe for you, or you have chosen not to have surgery.
- Your heart’s pumping ability (ejection fraction) is between 20% and 50% and your left ventricle is not too enlarged.
- You do not have other serious heart conditions or active infections.

This study tests a new clip procedure (CardioClip) to repair a leaky mitral valve in people with heart failure. It aims to see if the clip can improve symptoms and heart function.
This trial tests a clip-based procedure (TEER) to fix a severe leak in the mitral valve for people who have symptoms or heart changes but are at low to medium risk for surgery. The goal is to see if this less invasive option works well and is safe.
This trial tests Valveclip, a catheter-based way to repair a mitral valve that is leaking badly. It may help people who are high-risk for open surgery by aiming to reduce the leak with a less invasive approach.
This registry study follows people who have a severely leaky mitral heart valve and receive MitraClip, a procedure that repairs the valve through the skin. It helps doctors learn how well this treatment works over time for different patients.
This study tests a new device to fix a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people with severe symptoms who are too high-risk for traditional surgery. The procedure uses a clip to help the valve close better.
This trial tests whether using only ultrasound (echo) to guide a mitral valve clip repair is as good as using ultrasound plus X-ray. The study may help patients with a leaky mitral valve who are not good candidates for open heart surgery.
