NCT ID NCT07528326
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new device called the TRiCares Topaz, which replaces the tricuspid heart valve without open surgery. It is for people with severe tricuspid regurgitation (a leaky valve) who still have symptoms despite medication. The study will compare this device to another approved device to see if it is safe and effective, measuring outcomes like survival, hospitalizations, and quality of life.
What this could mean
