First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests if adding a tiny shunt (a small passage) between the upper chambers of the heart can lower pressure after a standard valve repair procedure called MitraClip. Ten people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve will receive the shunt right after their MitraClip. Researchers will watch for safety issues like stroke, heart attack, or device problems over time.
