New catheter device aims to fix leaky heart valves without open surgery

NCT ID NCT04919980

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early study tests a new device called the INNOVALVE system for people with a leaky mitral valve who are too high-risk for open-heart surgery. The device is delivered through a catheter to repair the valve. Researchers will check if it is safe and works well in 65 participants over 30 days.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

INNOVALVE system (a device implanted via catheter to repair the mitral valve)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a less invasive treatment option for people with leaky mitral valves who cannot undergo open-heart surgery.

What could go wrong

This is an early feasibility study with only 65 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device could cause serious side effects or fail to improve symptoms.
