Blood test during TAVI to improve heart valve procedure outcomes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether a quick bedside blood test helps guide care during a minimally invasive TAVI procedure (a new valve put in without open-heart surgery). It may improve safety and outcomes by helping the team manage bleeding-related decisions in real time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a minimally invasive TAVI approved by your local heart team
- Your TAVI plan uses the groin (transfemoral) approach
- The procedure is planned with local anesthesia or light sedation (not general anesthesia)
- The team will not use a TEE camera to guide the valve (no TEE guidance)
- You are not having a valve-in-valve replacement, and you don’t have moderate or worse leaking at the mitral valve
- You are not scheduled for certain medicines around the procedure (ticagrelor or prasugrel, or a direct oral blood thinner)

This trial studies how safe and effective the NAVITOR valve is for treating narrowed aortic valves placed through a catheter (no open-heart surgery). It may be an option if you’re at intermediate-to-low surgical risk and meet heart ultrasound/CT measurements.
This trial compares two ways to check and fine-tune how well a new valve is working after a “valve-in-valve” TAVR procedure. It looks to see whether measurements from ultrasound of the heart (Doppler echocardiography) match results from a catheter test, which could help guide safer, more accurate valve care.
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 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.
This trial is for people who have had a TAVI procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve, and it tests whether it is safe to skip blood thinners afterward. The goal is to find the best way to protect your health without unnecessary medication.
This study is testing a new tool that helps doctors decide who needs a TAVI (a procedure to replace a heart valve without open-heart surgery) the soonest. If you've been referred for TAVI, this trial may help improve how care is prioritized for people like you.
