Should symptom-free patients get early heart valve repair? new trial investigates.
NCT ID NCT01406353
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether doing a heart valve repair procedure early, before symptoms appear, is better than waiting and using standard care for people with moderate mitral stenosis. The trial includes 167 participants who have no symptoms but are at risk for future heart problems like stroke or irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see if early intervention reduces the chance of serious heart events.
