New catheter device aims to fix leaky heart valves without open surgery
NCT ID NCT04919980
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a new device called the INNOVALVE system for people with a leaky mitral valve who are too high-risk for open-heart surgery. The device is delivered through a catheter to repair the valve. Researchers will check if it is safe and works well in 65 participants over 30 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- INNOVALVE system (a device implanted via catheter to repair the mitral valve)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a less invasive treatment option for people with leaky mitral valves who cannot undergo open-heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study with only 65 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The device could cause serious side effects or fail to improve symptoms.
