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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a device placed during open heart surgery that tightens the leaking mitral valve to reduce blood flowing backward. It may help people whose valve leak is caused by heart muscle weakness and who are already having another heart surgery.
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 minimally invasive procedure to repair a leaky mitral valve in people with a specific type of heart failure. The goal is to see if the procedure, called transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), is safe and effective in reducing symptoms and improving heart function.
This registry study collects information on people with severe mitral valve leakage (regurgitation) who are treated with the MitraClip G4 device. It aims to better understand which patients benefit most and how well the procedure works in real-world care.
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.
