Mitral valve stenosis

This study tests a new device called the Cephea Mitral Valve System for people with a leaky or narrowed mitral heart valve. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well for patients who are not good candidates for open-heart surgery. About 50 people will get the device and be …

This study tests a new device (Intrepid TMVR) to replace the mitral valve in people with severe mitral regurgitation (leaky heart valve) who are not candidates for standard surgery or repair. About 400 participants will receive the device and be followed for safety and effectiven…

This early study will test a new polymer artificial heart valve in 10 people aged 60 or older with severe mitral valve disease. The goal is to see if the valve is safe and can be implanted successfully. Researchers will track deaths, reoperations, and how well patients can walk a…

This study tests whether giving two steroids (hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone) to high-risk patients before heart surgery can lower the chance of serious complications like kidney injury and lung problems. The trial will include 196 adults with a EuroSCORE II above 4% who are …

This study tests a new device (TS-RF system) that uses radiofrequency energy to help doctors safely reach the left side of the heart during procedures for abnormal heart rhythms or mitral stenosis. About 70 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either the new device or a st…

This study is testing a new way to replace a damaged heart valve (the mitral valve) without open-heart surgery. It uses a special valve delivered through a thin tube (catheter) for people with severe symptoms who are not healthy enough for standard surgery. The study will enroll …

This study tests whether a portable electronic stethoscope, combined with machine learning, can accurately detect valvular heart disease. About 125 people with and without the condition will use the device and also receive standard heart tests. Researchers will compare the device…

Researchers are testing a new balloon device called SmartWave that uses shock waves to break up calcium in severely narrowed mitral valves. The study enrolls 10 adults with symptomatic mitral stenosis caused by mitral annular calcification or severely calcified rheumatic heart di…

This study is a registry that collects information from 1,000 people with symptomatic mitral valve disease, including mitral regurgitation and stenosis. The goal is to better understand how correcting these heart valve problems with a less invasive procedure called transcatheter …

This study compares people who have had a mitral valve procedure for mitral stenosis with healthy volunteers. Researchers will measure exercise capacity, muscle oxygen levels, and artery stiffness to understand long-term effects. The goal is to gather knowledge that may improve f…

This study follows 500 adults with severe mitral valve disease who are not candidates for surgery. Researchers will track deaths and heart-related hospitalizations over two years to understand how these patients fare. The goal is to gather real-world data to help doctors make bet…

This study looks at whether filtering out blue light at night in hospital rooms can reduce inflammation, protect thinking skills, and improve mood and sleep in 80 adults having elective heart surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to wear blue-blocking glasses or regular…

This study is following 10,000 adults with heart valve disease to see how their condition changes over time. Researchers will use scans, blood tests, and health records to track progression and the effects of treatments like surgery or medication. The goal is to better predict ou…

This observational study will follow 400 patients with mitral stenosis who undergo a procedure called percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy (PMBC), where a balloon is used to open a narrowed heart valve. Researchers want to see how patients fare afterward and find the best w…
