New clip device aims to fix leaky heart valve without open surgery
NCT ID NCT07509658
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is checking how well the TriClip device works and how safe it is for people in Japan with a leaky tricuspid valve. The device is already approved for use, and this study will follow 250 patients to confirm its benefits in everyday medical practice. The main goal is to see if the valve leakage is reduced to moderate or less within 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
- TriClip System (a device that clips the tricuspid valve to reduce leakage)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that the TriClip device works safely in Japanese patients, offering a less invasive treatment option for tricuspid regurgitation.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. The device is already approved, but long-term benefits and risks in this population are still being confirmed.
