Study genes from blood flow fluid during aortic valve surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at gene activity in the heart to better understand what is happening during aortic valve surgery. It may help researchers find ways to monitor or improve heart care in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 20 years
- You are scheduled for aortic valve surgery
- You may also have bypass surgery (CABG) at the same time
- During surgery, you will receive an apical left-ventricle suction device (a tube called a vent)

This study builds a biobank, meaning it collects and stores your health information, blood, and possibly heart-related samples to help researchers learn why heart conditions happen. You might join if you have certain heart diagnoses and are having cardiac surgery for a problem other than an aortic valve issue.
This study looks for genetic (inherited) differences that may be linked to bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). It includes people with BAV and close family members to help understand why BAV happens and whether genes play a role.
This trial looks at ways to improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health, especially conditions that affect the aorta, such as aneurysms, or vascular problems that may run in families. If you have an aortic-related or other cardiovascular diagnosis (or you’re a healthy comparison participant), you may be invited to take part in this health-improvement program.
This study is testing a new way to monitor blood flow and heart function during a valve replacement procedure. It may help doctors track how well the heart is pumping.
This trial uses a special MRI and blood tests to see how heart muscle is affected after aortic or mitral valve surgery. It may help doctors better understand and monitor heart recovery.
This study looks for biological markers in the blood that might help predict heart-related events in people with a narrowed aortic heart valve. It aims to improve care for those with this condition, whether or not they have a procedure called TAVI to replace the valve.
