Massive registry launched to monitor new heart valve procedure
NCT ID NCT02245763
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This registry tracks the safety and real-world outcomes of a minimally invasive procedure to repair a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation) using a device called a leaflet clip. It will enroll up to 4,000 patients across many hospitals. The goal is to monitor adverse events and understand how well the procedure works in everyday practice.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Leaflet Clip (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry will provide real-world data on the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter mitral valve repair, helping guide future treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by patient selection and reporting biases.

Who is studied
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair must be furnished in a hospital with the appropriate infrastructre that includes, but is not limited to on site heart valve surgery program cardiac catheterization lab or hybrid operating room with a fixed radiographic imaging system with flat panel fluoroscopy, offering quality imaging non-invasive imaging such as echocardiography, vascular ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance. Sufficient space, in a sterile environment, to accommodate necessary equipment for cases with and without complications. Post-procedure intensive care facility with personnel experienced in managing patients who have undergone open-heart valve procedures.
