NCT ID NCT07671820
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early trial tests a new device called Anchord that repairs leaky mitral valves without open-heart surgery. It will include 5 people with severe valve leakage who are too high-risk for standard surgery. The goal is to see if the device is safe and can reduce the leak, improving symptoms like shortness of breath.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a less invasive option for people with leaky heart valves who are too high-risk for open-heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very early first-in-human trial with only 5 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device could fail to reduce the leak or cause complications like infection or device movement.
