Study of a new device for leaking heart valves
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device designed to fix a leaky mitral valve in people with heart failure. It may help you breathe easier and feel less tired if your valve leak is severe and medicines have not been enough.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 21 years old.
- Your mitral valve leak is moderate to severe or severe (grade 3+ or higher).
- You have symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue despite taking the best medicines for your heart.
- A heart team has decided you are a good candidate for this procedure.
- You are willing to come back for all follow-up visits.

This trial tests a procedure to fix a leaky mitral valve that occurs because the heart muscle is weak or enlarged, and which gets worse with activity. The procedure aims to reduce the leak and improve symptoms and quality of life in people with heart failure.
This trial tests whether repairing a leaky heart valve (mitral valve) can help people with heart failure feel better and live longer, even when standard heart failure medicines are not working well. The repair is done through a small tube in a blood vessel, avoiding open-heart surgery.
This trial tests a new device called the Capstan system to fix a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation) without open-heart surgery. It may help people whose valve leak is moderate to severe and still have symptoms despite medicines.
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 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.
This study tests a new device called the MRace implant that is designed to repair a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It may help people with severe leakage who are at high risk for traditional surgery.
