Heart study: less invasive valve fix may rival surgery for High-Risk patients
NCT ID NCT04822675
First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two treatments for people with a leaky heart valve (mitral regurgitation) caused by heart disease. One option is open-heart surgery to fix or replace the valve along with bypass surgery. The other is a less invasive procedure to repair the valve, followed by bypass surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better survival and fewer heart problems. About 80 adults with severe valve leakage and blocked arteries are taking part.
