Computer program to plan mitral valve repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new computer program that helps doctors evaluate patients before a procedure to fix a leaky mitral valve (a heart valve that doesn't close fully). The program uses ultrasound images to predict if the procedure will work well. Joining could help your doctor decide if this repair is right for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 90 years old.
- You need to have moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve), confirmed by an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart).
- You cannot have significant aortic valve disease (narrowing or leaking) or have had your aortic valve replaced.
- You cannot have congenital heart disease (a heart condition present from birth).
- Your echocardiogram images must be clear enough for the doctor to measure and mark your mitral valve properly.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new robotic tool that gives surgeons a sense of touch during mitral valve repair. If you have a severe leak in your mitral valve and are a good candidate for minimally invasive surgery, this study may offer a way to fix it using the da Vinci robot.
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 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 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 trial tests a new way to repair a leaky mitral valve without stopping the heart or using a heart-lung machine. The surgery is done through a small cut in the heart's lower chamber. It may be an option for people with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation who are not good candidates for standard open-heart surgery.
This trial tests a new device called MRace that may fix a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It's for people whose valve leaks severely and who can't have standard surgery due to other health issues.
