New heart valve implant aims to fix leaky mitral valve without open surgery
NCT ID NCT04818502
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a device called the Tendyne mitral valve system in 200 people with mitral regurgitation, a condition where the heart's mitral valve doesn't close properly, causing blood to leak backward. The valve is implanted through a tube in an artery, avoiding open-heart surgery. The main goal is to see if the valve stops the leak one year after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tendyne Mitral Valve System (a replacement heart valve implanted via a tube in an artery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a less invasive option for people with leaky mitral valves, potentially avoiding open-heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. Risks include procedural complications, valve blockage, or the need for additional procedures.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is indicated for the Tendyne Mitral Valve System per the Instructions for Use. 2. Patient is willing and able to comply with all follow-up requirements through five years, including study-required testing, medications, and attending all follow-up visits. 3. Patient provides written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedure. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is in another clinical study that may impact the follow-up or results of this study. 2. Patient is pregnant or nursing or plan to become pregnant during the study follow-up period. 3. Patient is under the age of 18 or age of legal consent. 4. Patient has other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, may limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical study or to comply with follow-up requirements.
