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.
