New valve device could fix leaky heart valve without open surgery

NCT ID NCT06455787

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a new device called the J-Valve, which is a replacement heart valve delivered through a tube in the leg, to treat severe aortic regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). The trial will include 194 people with severe symptoms who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. The goal is to see if the device is safe and effective at improving heart function and quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
J-Valve Transfemoral (TF) System (a replacement heart valve delivered through a tube in the leg)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a less invasive treatment option for people with severe aortic regurgitation who are too high-risk for open-heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early study with no phase designation, so results are uncertain. Risks include death, stroke, bleeding, and need for a permanent pacemaker.
