Mitral valve clip repair for severe leak
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new device to fix a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people with severe symptoms who are too high-risk for traditional surgery. The procedure uses a clip to help the valve close better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a severe leak in your mitral valve (grade 3+).
- You are not a good candidate for open-heart surgery due to other health issues.
- Your doctor says your valve shape is suitable for this procedure.
- You can have echocardiograms and X-ray imaging during the procedure.
- You are willing and able to give informed consent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 trial tests a new device to fix a leaky mitral valve in people with moderate to severe leakage who are too high-risk for open-heart surgery. It aims to improve heart function and symptoms.
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.
