Heart scans may predict Post-Surgery risks in valve patients
NCT ID NCT06770062
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study at Mayo Clinic will use cardiac MRI scans to examine how the heart's main pumping chamber changes in people with severe mitral regurgitation before and after valve repair surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can help identify patients at risk of developing heart weakness after surgery. Thirty adults undergoing robotic mitral annuloplasty will receive two MRI scans—one before surgery and another 6–12 months later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could pave the way for a larger trial that helps doctors better predict which patients with mitral regurgitation are at risk of heart dysfunction after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 30 participants, designed mainly to test feasibility. It is not testing a treatment, so it cannot directly improve patient outcomes.
