Study of a new mitral valve replacement for heart patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a replacement valve (called MITRIS) for people whose own mitral valve or a previous artificial valve is not working well. The goal is to see how well the valve works over time after it is implanted.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your own mitral heart valve, or one you already had replaced, is not working properly and needs to be replaced.
- You agree to have the surgery and follow the study rules.
- You have not had a serious heart infection (endocarditis) in the last 3 months.
- Your kidneys are working well enough (no stage 4 kidney disease or dialysis needed).
- Your life expectancy is at least 2 years, aside from any heart problem.

This early-stage trial tests a new device called the ReValve System that replaces a damaged mitral valve (the valve that controls blood flow in your heart). The study is for people with a weakened heart who have leaking mitral valves and are experiencing heart failure symptoms.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for replacing the mitral valve. One technique keeps more of the natural supporting structures (the subvalvular apparatus) than the other. The goal is to find out which approach gives better heart function and quality of life after surgery.
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 study looks at how well a new mitral valve (the Edwards MITRIS RESILIA) works in people of Asian descent. It aims to see if this valve is safe and effective for patients who need mitral valve replacement.
This study tests a new device called the MRace implant that is designed to repair a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It may help people with severe leakage who are at high risk for traditional surgery.
This trial studies whether a new catheter-based system can replace a badly leaking mitral valve in people who have symptoms. It may help if you can’t safely get current approved valve treatments or standard surgery.
