Heart artery checks during aortic valve replacement
This study tests different ways to check for blocked heart arteries in patients getting a new aortic valve through a tube in the leg. It aims to find the best approach to guide treatment.
BernAges 70 years+ - NCT06863883Recruiting
Aortic stenosis study: looking at outcomes after TAVI
This study follows people with aortic stenosis who are getting a TAVI valve replacement. It uses imaging tests (MRI and CT) to learn more about the condition and improve future care.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT02153307Recruiting
Check heart rhythm at home after new left bundle block
This study uses a portable heart monitor to watch for a serious heart rhythm problem called high-degree atrioventricular block in people who develop a new, persistent left bundle branch block after a TAVI valve procedure. It may help catch dangerous rhythm changes earlier and guide treatment sooner.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT03395509Enrolling by invitation
Free screening program for diabetes and heart risks
This study looks at how well and how cost-effective a combined health screening is for diabetes and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risks. You may be invited to attend screening around your 67th birthday.
ViborgAges 67–67 - NCT07391293Recruiting
Genetic aortic diseases and heart risks observational study
This study looks at people with genetic aortic diseases to understand risk factors for heart complications. By joining, you help researchers learn more about these conditions and how to better manage them.
MilanAges 14–60 - NCT04634240Recruiting
Staged heart bypass plus TAVR versus TAVR alone
This study compares doing a staged coronary bypass (revascularization) along with a valve procedure (TAVR) versus doing TAVR and medical treatment alone. It aims to see which approach better helps people with both aortic valve narrowing and coronary artery disease.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT05805111Recruiting
BeGraft stents for blocked aorta and iliac arteries
This trial tests a specific stent system (BeGraft) to improve blood flow through the aorta and iliac arteries in people with symptomatic peripheral artery disease. It may help reduce symptoms and improve leg circulation, based on the study device’s ability to fit your artery anatomy.
BerlinAges 18–99 - NCT02860364Recruiting
Checking different cooling levels during part of heart surgery
This trial compares two cooling temperatures during an “aortic hemiarch” operation to see which approach is safer and better for brain protection. It may help guide surgeons on the best cooling strategy for some planned heart surgeries.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03470246Recruiting
Wearable activity coaching after heart surgery
This study tests a personalized activity program and coaching after heart surgery, using wearable sensors to track movement. It may help you recover more safely and move in a goal-directed way during rehabilitation.
KuopioAges 30–90 - NCT03826264Recruiting
Research registry for people getting TAVR
This is a research registry that collects information about people who receive TAVR, a procedure to help open a narrowed heart valve. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care, but it is not designed as a drug or device trial by itself.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT05487612Recruiting
MiECC heart-lung machine vs standard bypass during heart surgery
This trial compares a newer heart-lung machine setup (MiECC) with the usual bypass technique during certain heart operations. It may help see whether MiECC changes outcomes like the need for blood transfusions or recovery after surgery.
TorontoAges 18–85 - NCT05862558Recruiting
Lithotripsy to open blocked, calcified artery for TAVR
This trial tests whether a treatment called intravascular lithotripsy (using sound waves from inside a blood vessel) can help widen severely calcified, narrowed iliac arteries so a TAVR procedure can be done through the groin. It may help some people who are considered “high risk” for access, based on CT scan findings.
Plano, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT07016477Recruiting
Heart CT study for TAVI planning
This study is a registry (a collection of information) for people who are about to have a TAVI heart valve procedure. It will see how a new type of CT scanner (the NAEOTOM Alpha) can help doctors plan the procedure better.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07415447Recruiting
Aorta repair study: heart and vessel changes after stent procedure
This study looks at how the heart changes after a minimally invasive procedure to fix an aortic aneurysm. It uses imaging to track heart function and structure over time.
LisbonAges 18 years+ - NCT06768008Recruiting
Integrated care model for newborns with critical heart disease
This trial tests a coordinated treatment plan for newborns with critical congenital heart disease, starting before birth and continuing after delivery. It aims to improve outcomes for babies who need two-ventricle repair surgery.
BeijingAges 1 day–4 weeks - NCT07596394Recruiting
Registry of Catheter-Based Aortic Valve Replacements
This registry collects information about patients who receive a new valve inserted through a catheter (a thin tube) rather than open surgery. It tracks how well the procedure works and any side effects to help doctors understand the long-term safety and effectiveness of this less invasive approach.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT04080492Recruiting
Quality of life study for heart disease patients
This study asks people with certain heart conditions to complete follow-up questionnaires to better understand how their quality of life changes over time. It may help improve how care plans are made and supported for patients and their families.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT07619872Recruiting
Safety study of KONECT RESILIA heart valve replacement
This study tracks how well a new artificial aortic valve and aorta graft (called KONECT RESILIA) work after surgery in real-world patients. Researchers want to understand if it's safe and performs well over time in people who need this valve replaced.
München, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06833762Recruiting
Predicting improvement after TAVI using exercise tests
This trial looks at whether a simple exercise test (called CPET) can help predict how much your heart function will improve after TAVI, a procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve. If you're scheduled for TAVI through your leg artery and are 18 or older, you might be able to join.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05093764Recruiting
Test how well debris is captured during valve-in-valve TAVR
This trial studies a device and a technique meant to capture debris during a repeat aortic valve procedure (valve-in-valve TAVR). It may help doctors understand if the approach reduces risk from material that can break loose during the procedure.
