Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 85 with moderate to severe chronic functional tricuspid regurgitation who are undergoing cardiac surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension, previous tricuspid valve repairs, or recent myocardial infarction may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety and performance of the MIA Minimally Invasive Annuloplasty Device in patients suffering from chronic functional tricuspid regurgitation. It is a prospective, multi-center study where participants will undergo clinical assessments at 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year following the implant procedure. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of this device in improving patient outcomes related to heart function.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve heart function and quality of life for patients with tricuspid regurgitation.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar minimally invasive approaches, indicating potential for success in this area.
