Predicting outcomes after mitral valve surgery

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 study looks at how well CT scans and 3D echo (ultrasound) measure the mitral valve ring before surgery for severe mitral valve leakage. It may help doctors better plan valve 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 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 trial compares doing mitral valve repair early with closely monitoring symptoms instead, for people who have severe leakage but feel well. It may help determine whether early surgery prevents future heart problems without causing unnecessary risk.

This study collects and compares real-world results to help doctors choose the best treatment for mitral valve “leakiness.” If you have clinically significant mitral insufficiency and have already had a specific heart procedure screening, your echocardiogram results may be used to understand outcomes over at least a month.
