This early study tests a robotic catheter system to replace the tricuspid valve in 10 patients with severe leakage (regurgitation) who are too high-risk for open surgery. The robot aims to improve precision and safety while reducing radiation exposure for doctors. The main goal i…

Researchers are testing whether denosumab, a drug usually used for osteoporosis, can also treat sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and strength that comes with age. The trial enrolls 120 adults aged 65 and older who have both sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Participants receive eit…

This trial investigates whether a robotic system can improve the accuracy of bone realignment and fixation in orthopaedic trauma surgery. Adults with fractures will receive surgery assisted by the R-Universal® robot, which uses 3D navigation to guide precise movements. The goal i…

Tricuspid regurgitation happens when the heart's tricuspid valve leaks, letting blood flow backward. Open heart surgery to fix it carries high risks, and some people are not eligible for other catheter-based repairs. This study tests the Lux-Valve Plus, a replacement valve delive…

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 will collect information from 15 patients in Asia-Pacific who have had or will have a less invasive procedure to fix a failed mitral or tricuspid heart valve. The goal is to learn how well these procedures work in this population, since most existing data comes from We…

Researchers are tracking outcomes for 30 people with severe pure aortic regurgitation who receive a transcatheter aortic valve implantation using the JenaValve or J-Valve system. All participants are considered high-risk for open heart surgery. The study uses CT scans at 6 months…

Researchers are studying how non-invasive tools can characterize tricuspid regurgitation, a heart valve condition linked to heart failure and liver problems. The trial enrolls 450 adults with moderate or worse tricuspid regurgitation and uses a lung fluid sensor and a liver stiff…

Structural heart disease covers heart defects other than blocked arteries, such as faulty valves. Doctors at Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong are building a registry of 1,000 patients who undergo transcatheter structural heart procedures, which are done through blood vessels…
