Survey of patients who fail screening for mitral valve interventions
Official title: Mitral Valve Screening Survey (MVSS)
Run by Medstar Health Research Institute · NCT04736667 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to learn more about patients who aren't eligible for a specific heart valve procedure to help improve future treatments for mitral valve disease.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients who have failed screening for transcatheter mitral valve interventions.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are under 18 years of age or those who have already proceeded with TMVI will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to gather data on the clinical profiles and anatomical characteristics of patients who do not meet the screening criteria for transcatheter mitral valve interventions (TMVI). It will create a prospective multicenter registry that collects baseline demographics, imaging characteristics, and clinical outcomes of these patients. The goal is to better understand the natural history of mitral valve disease in those who are ineligible for TMVI, which could inform future treatment approaches.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights that improve the selection criteria for TMVI, potentially expanding treatment options for patients with mitral valve disease.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been numerous studies on TMVI, this specific approach focusing on patients who fail screening is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
