Active clinical trials for "Mitral Valve Insufficiency"

This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized trial comparing mitral valve (MV) transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) to surgical repair (1:1 ratio) in patients with primary, degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR). The trial will be conducted in the U.S., Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom, and is designed as a strategy trial. Thus, all devices legally marketed for TEER of primary degenerative MR in a particular country are eligible to be used in this trial.

Study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Innovalve mitral valve replacement system

To observe and evaluate the safety and efficacy of the HighLife Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement System in patients with moderate-severe or severe mitral valve regurgitation through a prospective, multicenter clinical trial using objective performance criteria.

Mitral regurgitation may be seen in the setting of cardiogenic shock. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been shown to improve outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure. Observational studies suggest improvements in clinical outcomes in patients with mitral regurgitation in the setting of cardiogenic shock; however, there remains a lack of randomized clinical data to support the use of TEER in cardiogenic shock. This study will be a multicenter, open-label, randomized-controlled trial with two study arms: medical therapy and TEER. Patients admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit (CSICU) or Intensive Care Units (ICU) at participating centers will be recruited. The study aims to answer the question: "Does TEER in patients with SCAI stage C or D cardiogenic with concomitant moderate or greater mitral regurgitation improve outcomes as compared to medical therapy?" The study hypothesis is that TEER will lead to an overall improvement in the composite outcome as compared to the medical therapy arm.

Multi-center, global, prospective, non-randomized, interventional, pre-market trial. All subjects enrolled with receive the study device.

The objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare the clinical outcome of MitraClip™ device versus surgical repair in patients with severe primary MR who are at moderate surgical risk and whose mitral valve has been determined to be suitable for correction by MV repair surgery by the cardiac surgeon on the local site heart team.

The MitraClip System is the first commercially available catheter-based option for the treatment of MR. The MitraClip System was developed as an alternate percutaneous technology which may serve as a viable therapeutic option for open-heart surgery. Treatment with the MitraClip device allows patients to undergo a less invasive procedure that can mechanistically reduce MR and allow for improved quality of life. The MitraClip procedure is performed under general anesthesia without the use of a heart-lung machine, with recovery typically lasting two to three days.

Ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) and coronary artery disease is common and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Ischemic MR has been traditionally treated surgically through either valve repair or replacement at the time of concomitant bypass grafting. Although patients with ischemic MR represent a heterogeneous group, outcomes for these patients over the intermediate term is poor owing to left ventricle (LV) dysfunction causing MR and the presence of coronary disease, which portends poor survival. There is an emergence of percutaneous therapies to treat MR which have been shown to be a less invasive, safe, and viable approach to treat comorbid patients. The decision to treat ischemic MR either surgically or percutaneously is influenced by the presence of coronary disease and the ability to provide adequate revascularization. Mitral valve surgery concomitant to surgical revascularization, however, is associated with a several fold increase in mortality. In fact, the incremental risk increase is further magnified in high-risk patients. We therefore propose a novel prospective study to guide intervention for ischemic MR. Patients will be randomized to undergo surgical therapy with either mitral repair/replacement and/or concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting OR percutaneous mitral repair, followed by coronary artery bypass grafting.

This study is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center feasibility clinical study of the SATURN TA System for the treatment of NYHA Class ≥ II patients with severe functional mitral regurgitation who are not suitable for surgical treatment following Heart Team assessment.

It is stated that abnormal lower extremity posture and biomechanics are effective in the development and progression of Low Back Pain (LBP). Exercise, electrotherapy, insoles, and orthoses are used for the prevention and treatment of low back pain.The use of orthosis, insoles, and taping techniques stands out in the correction of foot posture and dysfunctions, which are stated to cause LBP. In studies examining the application of taping to improve foot posture and biomechanics, it is stated that taping is effective in improving foot posture and biomechanics in the short term. Biomechanical taping has been used in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in recent years. It is aimed to correct the impaired joint biomechanics by reducing the load on the joint, supporting strength, and providing movement modification.
