MRI study for mitral & tricuspid valve repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to take detailed pictures of the heart before and after a valve repair procedure. It helps doctors better understand how these new, less invasive treatments affect heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be scheduled for a catheter-based repair of your mitral or tricuspid heart valve.
- You cannot have any metal implants or other reasons that make an MRI scan unsafe (like a pacemaker or severe claustrophobia).
- You cannot be allergic to the MRI dye (gadolinium).
- You must be willing and able to sign a consent form.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 how well different MRI images can assess heart valve problems—like leaking (regurgitation) or narrowing (stenosis). It may help doctors get clearer information, especially in people who may not respond well to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
This study uses MRI (a type of scan) in people who are scheduled for a catheter-based aortic valve replacement through the groin. It aims to see how well MRI can work for these patients and potentially improve care planning around the procedure.
This trial is testing a new, less-invasive device to fix the tricuspid valve in the heart for people with severe leakage. It may be an option if you are not a good candidate for traditional open-heart surgery and have tried other treatments.
This trial tests whether a catheter-based procedure can safely repair a leaking mitral heart valve in people who still have symptoms despite best medical treatment. If you qualify, it may improve symptoms and heart function without open-heart surgery.
