Valve repair study for leaky mitral or tricuspid valves
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at different causes of leaky heart valves (mitral or tricuspid) and helps doctors improve how they repair them during surgery. If you are planning to have valve repair surgery, this study may help your doctor understand your condition better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a leaky mitral or tricuspid valve due to wear and tear, rheumatic fever, or reduced blood flow to the heart.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to repair your valve.
- You agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- You do not have active heart infections, severe organ failure, bleeding disorders, cancer, or immune system diseases.
- You are not pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding during the trial.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a catheter-based repair to help fix a leaky tricuspid valve (regurgitation), especially when you’re also having another heart surgery. It aims to improve valve function and symptoms while tracking safety and outcomes.
This study tests a new device to help people with severe tricuspid regurgitation (leaky heart valve) who are at higher risk from surgery. It aims to see if the device can reduce the leak and improve symptoms.
This trial studies people with atrial fibrillation and moderate-to-severe leakiness in the mitral and tricuspid valves in the heart. It likely aims to improve symptoms and heart function by better addressing how these valve leaks happen.
This study looks at whether fixing the tricuspid valve at the same time as left heart surgery is beneficial for patients with mild tricuspid regurgitation. It may help improve heart function and reduce future symptoms.
This trial looks at whether adding a specific repair to the right valve (called tricuspid annuloplasty) during mitral valve surgery helps people whose right valve leakage is not severe. It compares doing the extra right-valve repair versus doing only the mitral valve repair.
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.
