Robotic mitral valve repair with force feedback tools
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years old or older.
- You have a severe leak in your mitral valve (mitral regurgitation) that can be fixed with surgery.
- You have not had any previous heart surgery or robotic chest surgery on the same side.
- Your overall risk of complications from surgery is low (under 4% as calculated by your doctor).
- You are willing to have the surgery done through small incisions using a robot, instead of a large cut.

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 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.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to repair a leaky mitral valve (the valve between the upper and lower chambers of your heart) in people with heart failure who haven't improved with medication alone. The procedure uses a catheter-based system inserted through the groin to replace part of the valve, potentially reducing symptoms and improving heart function.
This trial studies whether a new catheter-based system can replace a badly leaking mitral valve in people who have symptoms. It may help if you can’t safely get current approved valve treatments or standard 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.
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.
