Heart valve reconstruction using your own tissue
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a surgery to repair the aortic valve using tissue taken from your body. It may help people with significant valve problems, by testing whether this reconstruction approach works and is safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 50 or older
- You have symptoms from aortic valve disease that is at least moderate (or severe leakage)
- Your aortic valve opening (annulus) is larger than 19 mm
- You can sign informed consent to join the study
- You have not had certain recent heart procedures or other related surgeries

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.
This study tests whether a new type of heart valve made from your own tissue (an “autologous” valve) can be placed through a catheter safely in adults with leaking and pressure-related problems in the lung heart valve area. If it works well, it could offer a safer option for people who need treatment for pulmonary valve problems.
This trial studies how well the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) recovers after surgery to fix a leaky aortic valve. It is for people who also have a leaky mitral valve and an enlarged left ventricle, and who are having their first planned valve surgery.
This trial is studying how well a new type of heart valve works in real-life patients with aortic valve disease. It will help doctors understand if this valve is safe and effective for people who need a procedure called TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement).
This study tests a new way to repair the tricuspid valve (the valve that controls blood flow on the right side of your heart) using a piece of your own heart tissue called the right atrial appendage. This might be an option for people who need this type of valve surgery.
This trial tests a new polymer heart valve for people with severe aortic valve narrowing or leakage. It aims to see if the valve is safe and works well as a replacement.
