Double valve repair vs single valve repair for leaky heart valves
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if repairing both the mitral and tricuspid heart valves at the same time (using tiny clips) works better than fixing only the mitral valve. It is for people with severe leaking of both valves who are too high risk for open-heart surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must have moderate-to-severe or severe leaking of the mitral valve (the valve between the heart's left chambers).
- You must also have severe leaking of the tricuspid valve (the valve between the heart's right chambers).
- You must have symptoms like shortness of breath with mild activity or at rest (NYHA class II, III, or IVa).
- A heart team must confirm your valve anatomy can be treated with a minimally invasive clip procedure (TEER).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a catheter-based procedure to repair a leaking mitral valve in people who are in severe heart shock and need medication support. The goal is to reduce the valve leak and see if it helps patients stabilize and recover.
This trial studies a catheter-based repair to help fix a leaky tricuspid valve (regurgitation), especially when you’re also having another heart surgery. It aims to improve valve function and symptoms while tracking safety and outcomes.
This trial tests a catheter-based procedure (done through the blood vessels) to repair a severely leaky tricuspid valve. It may help people with symptoms or past hospitalizations from tricuspid valve leakage who are higher-risk for standard surgery.
This trial tests a less invasive procedure (edge-to-edge mitral valve repair) for people with ATTR-CM and a leaky mitral valve. It aims to see if this repair can help improve symptoms compared to standard medical therapy alone.
This trial looks at whether adding a specific repair to the right valve (called tricuspid annuloplasty) during mitral valve surgery helps people whose right valve leakage is not severe. It compares doing the extra right-valve repair versus doing only the mitral valve repair.
This study tests a new catheter-based device to repair a leaky tricuspid heart valve (tricuspid regurgitation) in people who still have symptoms like shortness of breath or swelling despite taking heart medications. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and can help reduce the leak.
