Mitral valve clip study for leaky heart valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new clip device to repair a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It may be an option for people who are not good candidates for surgery due to age or other health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation (leaky valve)
- You have symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue, or your heart is showing signs of strain
- Your doctors have decided you are at high risk for mitral valve surgery
- Your valve shape is suitable for this clip procedure, and a vein in your leg can be used to reach it

This trial tests Valveclip, a catheter-based way to repair a mitral valve that is leaking badly. It may help people who are high-risk for open surgery by aiming to reduce the leak with a less invasive approach.
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure using a clip to fix a leaky mitral valve caused by an enlarged heart (atrial functional mitral regurgitation) in people with heart failure who are not good candidates for open-heart surgery. The clip helps the valve close better, which may reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
This study tests a new clip procedure (CardioClip) to repair a leaky mitral valve in people with heart failure. It aims to see if the clip can improve symptoms and heart function.
This trial studies whether a device called GeminiOne can safely and effectively repair a leaky mitral valve using a catheter-based “clip” technique. It may help patients who have moderate-to-severe or severe valve leakage but are considered too high-risk for open surgery.
This trial tests a clip-based procedure (TEER) to fix a severe leak in the mitral valve for people who have symptoms or heart changes but are at low to medium risk for surgery. The goal is to see if this less invasive option works well and is safe.
This study is testing a new assist system to help doctors perform a minimally invasive procedure (MitraClip) that clips the leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people with severe mitral regurgitation who cannot safely have surgery or choose not to.
