MitraClip for leaky heart valve in heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if the MitraClip device helps people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve. It uses a special MRI to check how the heart responds to treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- You have heart failure with a weak heart pump (ejection fraction less than 50%)
- You have a leaky mitral valve (moderate to severe) that is caused by heart failure
- You are scheduled to get the MitraClip device
- You have not had prior mitral valve surgery or repair

This trial studies an “epicardial” device placed during planned heart surgery to reduce mitral valve leaking (“mitral regurgitation”). If you have moderate-to-severe valve leak from ischemic heart disease and are already scheduled for heart surgery, this may help improve how well the valve works.
This trial tests a new device for people whose mitral valve leaks badly (grade 3+ or 4+) and who are not candidates for surgery. The device aims to fix the leak through a less invasive approach, and the study checks if it's safe and works well in daily life.
This trial studies whether the MitraClip procedure can improve outcomes for people with advanced heart failure caused by significant leakage of the mitral valve. It focuses on people who still have severe symptoms and poor quality of life despite the best available heart medications.
This trial compares two treatment approaches for people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation). It aims to find which strategy leads to better outcomes. You may be eligible if your heart function is reduced and you have symptoms despite standard treatments.
This study looks at how well a clip (MitraClip G4) fixes a leaky heart valve in people with heart failure. If you are scheduled for this procedure, joining may help doctors learn more about the benefits of the clip.
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.
