An evaluation of the ReValve System for treatment of clinically significant mitral regurgitation in subjects determined appropriate for mitral valve surgery.
NCT07349888
This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of combined mitral and tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) versus isolated mitral TEER in the treatment of patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) combined with tricuspid regurgitation (TR). The expected objective is to provide a more precise treatment strategy for patients with MR combined with TR, reduce surgical risks, improve survival rates and quality of life, and offer evidence for clinical practice. The main research content involves enrolling 404 patients with severe MR combined with TR, who will be randomly assigned to either the group receiving simultaneous mitral and tricuspid TEER or the group receiving isolated mitral TEER. The primary endpoint is the composite endpoint at one year postoperatively, including death during the one-year follow-up, mitral and/or tricuspid surgery or intervention due to mitral and/or tricuspid dysfunction, rehospitalization for heart failure, and an increase of \<15 points in the KCCQ score.

NCT07151495
Mitral valve prolapse is the most common cause of mitral regurgitation requiring surgery in developed countries. While cardiac surgery is recommended for symptomatic patients, in accordance with the ESC guidelines on valvular heart disease, indications for intervention in asymptomatic patients are mainly based on two-dimensional echocardiographic criteria: the presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction or dilatation (end-systolic diameter ≥ 40 mm and/or ejection fraction ≤ 60%); or, in patients with preserved left ventricular systolic function, the occurrence of atrial fibrillation secondary to valvular disease or pulmonary hypertension (systolic pulmonary artery pressure \> 50 mmHg); finally, significant left atrial dilatation (indexed left atrial volume ≥ 60 ml/m² or diameter ≥ 55 mm) also represents an indication. Mitral valve repair is preferred over valve replacement with a prosthesis, as it is associated with lower intraoperative mortality, better long-term survival, and fewer valve-related complications. However, the cut-off values derived from conventional echocardiography and used as indicators for surgical intervention may reflect an already severe and irreversible structural and functional cardiac alteration. Moreover, they do not consider more advanced imaging techniques such as speckle tracking echocardiography, which is now widely used in clinical practice and allows for a quantitative assessment of myocardial function through the analysis of myocardial fiber shortening in the cardiac walls. Several studies have shown that preoperative peak left atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) has prognostic value in predicting postoperative clinical outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for primary mitral regurgitation, as well as in predicting left atrial reverse remodeling; this prognostic relevance has also been observed in asymptomatic patients and in cases of less than severe mitral regurgitation. Furthermore, Bernard et al. demonstrated the prognostic value of a staging system for extra-valvular cardiac damage, assessed using two-dimensional echocardiographic data, in asymptomatic patients with moderate or severe mitral regurgitation.
NCT06917664

NCT07085650
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in the clinic and can lead to valve regurgitation and a poor prognosis. At present, atrial fibrillation ablation is one of the most effective means for the recurrence of atrial fibrillation in clinical practice, but the recurrence rate is high. Therefore, it is of great significance to find the predictors of relapse after atrial fibrillation ablation for clinical precision treatment. three-dimensional transesophageal ultrasound (3D-TEE) can comprehensively evaluate the valve regurgitation, flap ring changes, atrial or auricular thrombosis in patients with atrial fibrillation. It is also a necessary examination before atrial fibrillation ablation. Therefore, this study intends to combine 3D-TEE and three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic (3D-TTE) examination to evaluate the cardiac structure and function of patients. To comprehensively evaluate atrial fibrillation valve regurgitation and explore the predictors of recurrence after atrial fibrillation ablation.

NCT06684171
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common valvular heart disease in the elderly population, frequently associated with poor prognosis if not treated. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has recently emerged as a popular strategy due to minimal invasiveness. What's more, previous studies, such as EVEREST II and COAPT study, have demonstrated its efficacy in high-risk patients with primary or secondary MR. Conventional TEER procedure, however, is performed under combined guidance of both echocardiography and fluoroscopy, which potentially results in high radiation exposure and limits its application. Since 2021 2021, the investigators have changed the procedural methodology by performing TEER under full echocardiographic guidance on accumulated dozens of MR patients successfully. To confirm the efficacy of a fully echo-guided TEER procedure, the investigators conduct the ECHO-CLIP study to compare its outcomes with the conventional TEER procedure, as well as evaluate the outcomes of this novel methodology in special populations with radiation contraindications. ECHO-CLIP study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, noninferior, randomized controlled trial of TEER by two different methodological strategies in treating severe primary or secondary MR. It is anticipated to enroll a total of 200 patients as well to complete the enrollment before Dec 31, 2025 and the follow-up before Dec 31, 2026. This work will potentially demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of the fully echo-guided TEER procedure, thereby revolutionizing the TEER methodology and benefiting more patients.

NCT05345730
Rationale: Patients with mitral valve insufficiency suffer from left atrial remodeling. Atrial fibrosis is part of this remodeling process. The presence of atrial fibrosis is associated with adverse events. Currently, mitral valve repair surgery is the ultimate treatment for severe primary mitral valve insufficiency. The main indications and timing for surgery are severe mitral valve insufficiency with symptoms or left ventricular dysfunction. However, the role of atrial fibrosis in this process remains undetermined despite its well-recognized clinical implications. Characterization of atrial fibrosis patterns in mitral valve insufficiency patients might be potentially valuable for the indication and timing of mitral valve repair surgery in order to improve clinical outcomes. To date, however, mitral valve insufficiency patients suffering from left atrial remodeling have hardly been studied using these new imaging techniques. Therefore, the investigators intend to combine advanced cardiac MRI and post-processing techniques prior to and after mitral valve repair surgery to gain more insight in the clinical implications of atrial fibrosis in this patient population. It is hypothesized that the atrial fibrosis surface area paradoxically will increase after mitral valve surgery because of global shrinkage of the left atrium caused by the reversed remodeling process. As a consequence, more frequently atrial fibrosis related events including (paroxysmal) atrial fibrillation, may be observed in these patients. Objective: To assess the effects of (reduced) volume overload on the left atrial wall texture (presence, amount and location of atrial fibrosis) and associated geometry and function in patients with mitral valve insufficiency, prior to and after mitral valve repair surgery. Study design: Single center pilot study. Study population: The research population consists of mitral valve insufficiency patients scheduled for elective surgical mitral valve repair (N=20) according to the current European guideline criteria.

The current state of the art management of severe mitral regurgitation is surgical mitral valve repair, either with open chest surgery or mini-thoracotomy. However, standard surgical approaches requiring cardiopulmonary bypass are suitable for patients with low or moderate surgical risk, thus many patients are denied surgery because of unfavorable risk-benefit balance. The EuroHeart Surveyconducted by the ESC showed that one half of patients with severe mitral regurgitation were denied surgical treatment because they were felt to be at too high risk for surgery by the referring physician. Such patients are usually elderly and have co-morbidities. Thus, there is a need for novel devices enabling interventional cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons to perform mitral repair in a minimally-invasive fashion and possibly without cardiopulmonary bypass. The landmark EVEREST II trial randomized 279 patients with grade 3/4 MR in a 2:1 fashion to MitraClip® or surgical repair/replacement showing a lower major adverse event rate at 30-days in the MitraClip® group (15.0% vs. 48%; superiority p\<0.001), mainly driven by the need for blood transfusion with surgery, and the primary efficacy endpoint of freedom from the combined outcome of death, new surgery for mitral valve dysfunction or the occurrence of \>2+ MR was achieved in 55% vs. 73% (non-inferiority p=0.007). However, this study has included a highly selected patient cohort in which patients with significant surgical risk have been excluded. More recently, Multinational (ACCESS-EU, EVEREST-High Risk) and national registries (TRAMI, SWISS) have shown safety and efficacy in the real world experience. Patients currently treated are high risk, elderly, with comorbidities and mainly affected by FMR. There is need for an Italian registry, since Italy has produced the second largest volume of transcathetermitral procedures in the world after Germany. The present registry is designed to collect real world clinical data on early and long-term outcomes following percutaneous mitral regurgitation therapy in consecutive patients undergoing transcatheter procedures in Hospitals linked to the GISE database.
