Adding MRI and monitoring to mitral valve repair study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is for people already in the PRIMARY trial who are having mitral valve repair surgery. It adds an extra MRI scan and possibly a heart rhythm monitor to learn more about heart recovery after repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already enrolled in the PRIMARY trial and have been randomly assigned to either mitral valve repair or another treatment.
- For the extra biospecimen study, you must have been randomly assigned to mitral valve repair in the main trial.
- You don't have severe claustrophobia (fear of closed spaces) that medication can't help.
- You have not had a bad reaction to gadolinium, a contrast dye used in some MRI scans.
- You do not have a subcutaneous defibrillator or a CRT-D device (certain heart devices that can interfere with MRI images).

This study looks at heart rhythm problems in people having mitral valve surgery to fix a leaky valve. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk for dangerous rhythms.
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 studies severe secondary mitral valve leaking and uses heart imaging to predict how well the heart and symptoms improve after a less-invasive valve procedure. It may help doctors better forecast who benefits most from this repair.
This study is testing if a special heart monitor can help patients who need mitral valve repair surgery. If you are scheduled for this surgery, the monitor will be placed during your procedure to track your heart function and recovery.
This study at Mayo Clinic uses MRI and other tests to see how the heart's main pumping chamber changes shape after robot-assisted mitral valve repair surgery for severe mitral regurgitation. It may help doctors better understand how patients recover.
This study uses MRI scans to take detailed pictures of the heart before and after a valve repair procedure. It helps doctors better understand how these new, less invasive treatments affect heart function.
