New heart valve fix without open surgery: early trial begins

NCT ID NCT06951672

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early study tests a new device called the AMEND Trans-Septal System, which is designed to repair a leaky mitral valve without open-heart surgery. The device is implanted through a catheter, making it a safer option for older or sicker patients. Up to 15 people with severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation will be enrolled to check safety and basic function over 30 days.
