NCT ID NCT04029363

First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a new device called the HighLife 28mm mitral valve, which is placed through a tube in a vein to replace a leaky heart valve without open-heart surgery. It is for 120 people with moderate-severe or severe mitral regurgitation who are at high risk for surgery. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works well.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ€” not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a less invasive treatment option for people with severe mitral regurgitation who are too high-risk for open-heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure carries risks like bleeding, infection, or device complications.
