Heart valve clip shows promise for heart failure patients in Real-World study
NCT ID NCT07227675
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a device called MitraClip in 162 heart failure patients with a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation). The device is clipped onto the valve to reduce leakage. The goal was to see if it is safe and effective in real-world conditions. All patients had severe symptoms despite taking standard heart failure medications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MitraClip NT System (a device that clips the mitral valve to reduce leakage)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safe and effective treatment option for heart failure patients with mitral regurgitation who are not helped by medications alone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-arm registry, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. The device procedure carries risks like bleeding, infection, or valve damage.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects who have national Medicare coverage by CMS * Symptomatic functional MR (≥3+) due to cardiomyopathy of either ischemic or non-ischemic etiology * Subject has been adequately treated per applicable standards, including for coronary artery disease, left ventricular dysfunction, mitral regurgitation and heart failure * Subject has had at least one hospitalization for heart failure in the 12 months prior to subject registration and/or a corrected BNP ≥300 pg/ml or corrected NT-proBNP ≥1500 pg/ml * New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class II, III or ambulatory IV * Surgery will not be offered as a treatment option and medical therapy is the intended therapy for the subject * Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) is ≥20% and ≤50% * Left Ventricular End Systolic Dimension (LVESD) is ≤70 mm Exclusion Criteria: * Untreated clinically significant coronary artery disease requiring revascularization * Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) within prior 30 days * Percutaneous coronary intervention within prior 30 days * Tricuspid valve disease requiring surgery * Aortic valve disease requiring surgery * Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) requiring continuous home oxygen therapy or chronic outpatient oral steroid use * Cerebrovascular accident within prior 30 days * Severe symptomatic carotid stenosis (\> 70% by ultrasound) * Carotid surgery within prior 30 days * Mitral valve orifice area \< 4.0 cm2 * Leaflet anatomy which may preclude MitraClip implantation, proper MitraClip positioning on the leaflets or sufficient reduction in MR by the MitraClip
