This study uses MRI (a type of scan) in people who are scheduled for a catheter-based aortic valve replacement through the groin. It aims to see how well MRI can work for these patients and potentially improve care planning around the procedure.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–105 - NCT05283356RecruitingPhase 4
Ticagrelor or aspirin after heart valve replacement
This trial compares two blood thinners (ticagrelor and aspirin) to see which one works better at preventing blood clots after a less-invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI). It is for people with severe aortic stenosis who also have diabetes, heart disease, or artery disease.
Vigo, PontevedraAges 18 years+ - NCT05172973Recruiting
New valve procedure for failing aortic bioprosthetic valves
This trial studies whether a new transcatheter aortic valve (SAPIEN X4) is safe and works well in people whose previously implanted aortic valve is now failing. It may help reduce valve symptoms in higher-surgery-risk patients who are not good candidates for open-heart valve replacement.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04864145Recruiting
Valve procedure trial for severe leaking aortic valve
This trial studies a less invasive heart valve procedure that places a new valve through a catheter, to treat severe leakage of the aortic valve. It may help people who have symptoms or heart enlargement and who are at higher risk for open-heart surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 60–90 - NCT04258488RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner pill vs warfarin after mechanical aortic valve
This study compares a blood thinner pill (a factor Xa inhibitor) with warfarin (vitamin K antagonist) in people who have had a mechanical aortic valve replacement. It looks at which option works better and is safer over the long term.
Bucheon-siAges 19 years+ - NCT04204915Recruiting
Early valve replacement for severe but symptom-free aortic narrowing
This study looks at whether replacing a narrowed heart valve early helps people who have severe aortic stenosis but no symptoms. You would be randomly assigned to early valve replacement or careful waiting with regular check-ups.
Garran, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 18 years+ - NCT07205393Recruiting
Heart rehab after valve replacement surgery
This trial tests a phase one cardiac rehabilitation program for people who have had their mitral or aortic heart valve replaced. It aims to see if the rehab helps recovery. You might qualify if you had planned (not emergency) valve surgery and are stable enough for light exercise.
QinaAges 40–55 - NCT07620925Recruiting
Aortic Valve Calcium Score Study Using Heart Ultrasound
This study develops and tests a new way to diagnose severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) by measuring calcium buildup on the valve using heart ultrasound. If you're already getting both an ultrasound and a CT scan of your heart, this study compares how well the ultrasound method can identify severe stenosis.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06168370Recruiting
Personalized blood thinners after TAVI vs. standard care
This trial tests whether a personalized plan for blood thinners after TAVI can reduce the risk of stroke or bleeding better than the current standard of one daily blood thinner. If you've had a successful TAVI and don't need specific other blood thinners, you might be able to join.
NieuwegeinAges 18–110 - NCT06689839Recruiting
Testing a new filter to prevent stroke during heart valve replacement
This trial tests a new filter device designed to catch debris that might travel to the brain during a minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The goal is to see if it can help reduce the risk of stroke.
Naples, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT03636295RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a lower INR goal to reduce bleeding in mechanical valves
This Phase 3 study tests whether aiming for a lower blood-thinning test result (INR) can reduce bleeding risk in people with a specific type of mechanical heart valve. The trial checks if this lower INR goal is safer while still protecting against dangerous clots.
Genk, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04162444Recruiting
Aortic valve reconstruction study for children
This trial studies a surgery approach to help fix a narrowed or leaking aortic valve in children. It aims to see how well the reconstructed valve works and how it affects the child’s heart function over time.
MoscowAges 4 weeks–12 years - NCT02023060Recruiting
Improving function and quality of life after heart valve repair
This study looks at how a less invasive heart valve procedure affects your day-to-day functioning and overall quality of life. If you’re already being considered for a transcatheter (catheter-based) valve replacement, you may be able to join to help understand what improvements patients experience.
JerusalemAges 18–110 - NCT03002272Recruiting
Long-term follow-up after TAVR or surgical valve replacement
This study checks how well an aortic valve replacement works many years after the procedure. It may help doctors understand long-term valve function and identify people who might need closer monitoring.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04414878Recruiting
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement for older, high-risk patients
This trial tests a new heart valve replacement done through a catheter (not open-heart surgery) in older adults with severe aortic valve narrowing. It’s mainly for people who are high-risk or not good candidates for standard surgery, to see if the new valve improves outcomes.
