Abbott Medical Devices

This study tested a new device called the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System. It is designed for people with a serious leak in their mitral heart valve (mitral regurgitation) who are too sick or high-risk for traditional open-heart surgery. The trial compared the new Tendy…

This study is testing if a special programming feature for a type of pacemaker used in heart failure patients works better than standard settings. The device, called a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, helps the heart's chambers beat together. Researchers are compar…

This study is testing a small implant called the Amulet 2 device, which is placed in the heart to seal off an area where blood clots often form in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to prevent strokes in patients who are at high risk but cannot take long-term blo…

This study is testing a new type of wire (lead) for heart devices like defibrillators. The lead is designed to deliver electrical therapy more precisely to control dangerous irregular heartbeats in people with heart failure. Researchers are checking if this new lead is safe and w…

This study is testing a small, drug-coated tube called the Esprit BTK System. It is designed to be placed in clogged leg arteries to keep them open and improve blood flow to the foot. The goal is to prevent major amputations and other serious limb problems in people with severe l…

This study is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new medical device system for treating a specific type of irregular heartbeat called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib). The system uses a special catheter and generator to deliver pulsed electrical energy (ablation) to h…

This study is tracking 200 patients who received Abbott's approved catheter procedure for atrial fibrillation (AFib). Researchers are checking how well the procedure keeps the heart's normal rhythm over 1-3 years and monitoring for any serious complications. The goal is to confir…

This study is testing a new device called the Navitor valve, which is designed to replace a narrowed aortic heart valve without major open-heart surgery. It will enroll about 1,500 people with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis who are considered at low or intermediate risk for …

This study is monitoring a specific heart catheter already approved for use. It aims to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of the device when doctors use it to treat a dangerous rapid heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia in real-world patients. The study is obs…

This study is observing how well a small, plug-like device works in real-world patients to prevent strokes. The device is implanted in the heart to seal off an area where dangerous blood clots can form in people with a common heart rhythm problem. Researchers are following over 6…

This study follows 102 patients who received large-sized heart stents to treat blocked coronary arteries. Researchers are observing how well these stents perform in everyday medical practice, tracking whether patients experience heart-related complications. The goal is to confirm…

This study is testing a small plug device to seal leaks that can form around surgically replaced heart valves. The leaks can cause heart failure or severe anemia. Researchers will implant the plug in 200 adults with significant leaks to see if it safely and effectively closes the…

This study is monitoring the safety and performance of a small heart device already approved for use in Japan. The device is used to close a persistent blood vessel (called a PDA) in premature babies. Researchers are tracking 70 babies for 180 days to see how well the device work…

This study compares two procedures for fixing a severely leaking mitral heart valve in patients at moderate surgical risk. It tests whether a less invasive device called MitraClip works as well as traditional open-heart surgery repair. Researchers will track 500 participants for …

This early study is testing the safety and function of Abbott's new balloon-expandable TAVI system for treating severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis. The study involves 11 adult patients with a severely narrowed aortic heart valve who are experiencing symptoms. Researchers are eva…

This large study is testing whether a small device implanted in the heart is as good as, or better than, daily blood thinner pills for preventing strokes in people with a common heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. About 2,650 participants at high risk for stroke were…

This study is checking if a small heart implant called the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder is safe and works well to prevent another stroke in people who have already had one. It involves about 1,200 adults in the US and Canada who have a small hole in their heart (a PFO). Doctors will fo…

This study is collecting real-world information on the safety and performance of a small, insertable heart monitor. The device continuously tracks heart rhythms to help doctors detect conditions like atrial fibrillation. Researchers are following 1,826 patients for one year to se…

This small study aims to measure how much of the drug (everolimus) from a new artery scaffold gets into the bloodstream of patients with severe leg circulation problems. It will enroll about 9 people who have received the scaffold implant. Researchers will take many blood samples…
