New catheter device aims to repair leaky mitral valves in high-risk patients
NCT ID NCT04820764
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a new device called the CardioMech Mitral Valve Repair System in 25 people with moderate to severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) who are at intermediate or high risk for surgery. The device is delivered through a catheter to repair the valve without open-heart surgery. The main goals are to check safety and see if the device reduces the leak.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CardioMech Mitral Valve Repair System (a device implanted via catheter to repair the mitral valve)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a less invasive treatment option for people with leaky mitral valves who are too high-risk for open-heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early feasibility study with only 25 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The device could cause serious side effects or fail to improve valve function.
