Software tool for structural heart procedures
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a software tool (EPX-HTG) that helps doctors see your heart more clearly during certain structural heart procedures. It might help improve the accuracy of the procedure and is for people having LAAO or M-TEER.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have one of these heart procedures: left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) to close a heart pouch that can cause strokes, or a mitral valve repair (M-TEER) to fix a leaky heart valve.
- The doctors will use a Philips ultrasound system (CVx TEE or 3D ICE) to guide the procedure.
- The procedure must not require a GE or Siemens ultrasound system.

This study looks at a new ultrasound tool that helps doctors see inside the heart during certain heart procedures. It may help guide the procedure more safely and effectively.
This trial tests a new imaging method (4D-ICE) used alongside a standard ultrasound (TEE) during a heart procedure to close the left atrial appendage, a small pouch in the heart where clots can form in people with atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if the new method makes the procedure safer and more precise.
This trial tests a new device to help doctors safely enter the left side of your heart during a procedure called ablation. If you are already scheduled for an ablation or a combined ablation and left atrial appendage closure, this study may be an option.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to repair a leaky mitral valve in people with a specific type of heart failure. The goal is to see if the procedure, called transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), is safe and effective in reducing symptoms and improving heart function.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to improve outcomes for patients getting minimally invasive heart valve procedures. It looks at CT scans and ultrasound images to help doctors plan and perform treatments for the aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves.
This trial tests an automated computer tool that helps guide an ultrasound exam of the heart, aiming to get better, usable images. You may benefit if your heart ultrasound is usually hard to capture or takes extra effort to obtain clear pictures.
