Tricuspid valve repair using heart tissue
This study tests a new way to repair the tricuspid valve (the valve that controls blood flow on the right side of your heart) using a piece of your own heart tissue called the right atrial appendage. This might be an option for people who need this type of valve surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a new valve replacement device (the Cor TRICUSPID ECM Valve) for people whose right-sided tricuspid valve is leaking or missing and needs surgery. It may help restore proper one-way blood flow in the heart, but you must meet several heart, blood, and organ-health requirements.
This trial tests a catheter-based procedure (done through the blood vessels) to repair a severely leaky tricuspid valve. It may help people with symptoms or past hospitalizations from tricuspid valve leakage who are higher-risk for standard surgery.
This study tests a special replacement valve (an “ECM valve”) for people whose tricuspid valve is leaky or missing and needs surgery. It may help restore blood flow on the right side of the heart and is designed for certain children born with congenital heart problems.
This trial compares two types of replacement valves for the tricuspid valve: a donated human valve (allograft) and a stented biological valve (made from animal tissue). The goal is to see which works better and lasts longer.
This study looks at whether doing a tricuspid valve repair at the same time as left-heart valve surgery is helpful for people who have mild tricuspid valve leakage. It may reduce future valve problems, but your eligibility depends on your heart valve type and recent health history.
This study tests a new catheter-based device to repair a leaky tricuspid heart valve (tricuspid regurgitation) in people who still have symptoms like shortness of breath or swelling despite taking heart medications. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and can help reduce the leak.
