Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 years or older scheduled for mitral repair surgery.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not undergo mitral repair or whose surgery is canceled or altered to replacement may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This was a pilot feasibility study of an investigational, temporary sizing device used during mitral valve repair surgery to directly measure the mitral valve opening and guide final ring size. The aim is to determine whether the paired-ring sizing system can provide a more precise size selection than current rough methods. Enrollment includes adults scheduled for mitral repair, with standard exclusions such as inability to consent or conditions requiring replacement instead. The study is conducted at Endeavor Health in Glenview, Illinois, with Endeavor Health as the lead sponsor. Interventions involve using the annuloplasty ring sizing device during surgery to inform final ring selection.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the tool could improve accuracy of mitral ring sizing and potentially improve surgical outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Other sizing tools have provided only rough estimates; this study explores a more precise sizing method, making this approach relatively novel.
