First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at people with a leaky heart valve caused by heart disease. Currently, surgeons choose between repairing or replacing the valve based on their own experience. This trial tests whether using a specific set of measurements (an algorithm) to guide that choice leads to better heart function after surgery. About 110 adults will be followed for one year after their operation.
