New heart valve fix could spare patients from Open-Heart surgery
NCT ID NCT05061004
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
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 followed for 30 days to check for serious problems and whether the valve leak is reduced.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Key Inclusion Criteria: * Mitral valve disease resulting in mitral regurgitation (MR ≥ Grade III) and/or severe mitral valve stenosis (mitral valve area ≤ 1.5cm² and/or mean transmitral gradient ≥10 mmHg at normal heart rate) per American Society of Echocardiography criteria. * LVEF ≥ 30% * In the judgement of the Site Heart Team, transcatheter therapy is deemed more appropriate than open heart surgery. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Prior surgical or interventional treatment that interferes with the Cephea valve delivery or function. * Need for emergent or urgent surgery.
