A new Catheter-Based valve could fix a leaky heart valve without surgery

NCT ID NCT06183684

First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests a new device, the Laplace Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement (TTVR) System, designed to replace the tricuspid valve in people with severe, symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation. The procedure is done through a catheter, avoiding open-heart surgery. The study aims to see if the device can be safely implanted and whether it reduces the backward flow of blood. Participants are adults aged 18 to 90 with severe or worse tricuspid regurgitation despite medical therapy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a new device called the Laplace Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement (TTVR) System, placed through a catheter to replace the tricuspid valve without open-heart surgery
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a less invasive treatment option for people with severe tricuspid regurgitation who cannot have open-heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 65 participants, so the device may not be safe or effective in the long run. Risks include complications from catheter-based valve replacement, such as bleeding, infection, or device failure.
