Xi'an, ShannxiAges 60 years+ - NCT06369870RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block for pain after minimally invasive aortic valve surgery
This trial tests a nerve block (injection of numbing medicine near the chest wall) to control pain after aortic valve replacement through a small right-sided chest incision. It may help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06518317RecruitingPhase 3
Short vs Long Blood Thinner Use After TAVI
This trial compares a short course versus a longer course of antiplatelet medicine (blood thinners) after a TAVI procedure for aortic stenosis. It aims to see which approach is safer and more effective.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT05062239Recruiting
Statin use after valve surgery to prevent heart rhythm trouble
This study looks at whether taking statin medicines around the time of surgical aortic valve replacement can lower the chance of a common post-surgery heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. It also compares statin-related factors in people who are at the time of surgery in normal rhythm and not on strong rhythm-stabilizing medicines.
OdenseAges 60–95 - NCT06800781Recruiting
Chest tube duration to prevent afib after heart surgery
This trial tests if leaving a chest tube in a little longer after heart surgery can lower the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It's for people having certain planned heart surgeries who have not had this rhythm problem before.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT05758701RecruitingPhase 4
CT scan study for people getting TAVR
This trial studies your abdomen using a CT scan around the time you receive TAVR (a heart valve procedure). The goal is to understand how the abdomen area looks on CT and what that might mean for care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT04139616Recruiting
Testing a planned heart rhythm plan after aortic valve replacement
This study tests an algorithm—a step-by-step plan—for how doctors manage abnormal heart rhythms after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). It may help guide safer, more consistent care in the weeks after the procedure.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06559332Recruiting
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+ - NCT06871774Recruiting
One vs. two closure devices for TAVR access site
This trial compares using one versus two Perclose devices to close the large hole in the leg after a TAVR procedure. It aims to find which method works better to prevent bleeding and other complications.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07370467Recruiting
MRI study for mitral & tricuspid valve repair
This study uses MRI scans to take detailed pictures of the heart before and after a valve repair procedure. It helps doctors better understand how these new, less invasive treatments affect heart function.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07648693Recruiting
Brain Protection Device During Aortic Valve Replacement
This trial tests a new device called CHORDS that protects your brain during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a minimally invasive procedure to fix a narrow aortic valve. The device works by blocking debris that might travel to your brain during the procedure.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07151989Enrolling by invitation
How valve disease type affects new valve durability
This study looks at people who had their mitral valve replaced to see if the original valve problem (tight vs leaky) affects how long the new valve lasts. It may help doctors understand which patients need closer follow-up.
Maastricht, MaastrichtAges 18 years+ - NCT06535659Recruiting
VitaFlow Liberty Valve Study for Severe Aortic Stenosis
This trial tests a new valve replacement device (VitaFlow Liberty) that is inserted through a tube in an artery, avoiding open-heart surgery. It is for people with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk for traditional surgery.
