NCT ID NCT07171060
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early study tests a new device called the Laplace TTVR System, which is designed to replace the tricuspid valve without open-heart surgery. It involves 15 people aged 60-90 with severe tricuspid regurgitation that continues despite medication. The main goal is to see if the device can be safely implanted and works as intended.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Laplace TTVR System (a device for replacing 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 are not helped by medication alone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study (15 people) focused on safety and feasibility. The device may not work as expected, and there are risks from the procedure itself, such as complications from valve implantation.
