New heart valve fix without surgery shows promise for High-Risk patients
NCT ID NCT03339115
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new device called the Cardiovalve, which is threaded through a blood vessel in the leg to fix a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It includes 30 people with severe mitral regurgitation who are too high-risk for traditional surgery. The goal is to see if the device is safe and can reduce the backward flow of blood, improving symptoms and quality of life over two years.
