Imaging tests for people before aortic valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies heart imaging tests (from multiple types of scans) for people who have a narrowed aortic valve and are being checked for a valve replacement through the catheter (often called TAVI). It may help doctors better plan the procedure and understand heart function before treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a narrowed aortic valve (aortic valve stenosis).
- You’ve already been screened for TAVI (a catheter-based valve replacement).
- You can read and sign an informed consent form.
- You are awake and able to understand what the study involves.

This trial compares two pressure-based measurements of blood flow in the coronary arteries with a PET heart scan in people with severe aortic valve stenosis. It may help doctors choose the most accurate way to assess blood flow and guide care during valve treatment.
This study collects extra imaging data from 40 people who are already scheduled for a routine TAVI procedure to replace a narrowed aortic heart valve. The goal is to better understand the valve's structure and function using scans.
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.
This study uses a CT scan (with contrast dye) to measure the coronary artery openings after people have a new aortic valve placed surgically. It aims to see how to best plan or understand coronary blood flow after the surgery.
This trial studies whether a new through-the-blood-vessel heart valve (TAVR) is safe and works well for people with severe aortic stenosis who are too risky for traditional surgery. If you qualify, you would be closely followed to check your symptoms and valve function over time.
This trial tests whether giving extra information before heart valve replacement (TAVI) helps patients feel more informed and improves their reported outcomes. If you have severe aortic stenosis and are planning to get a TAVI, this study may be for you.
