Aortic valve reconstruction study for children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a surgery approach to help fix a narrowed or leaking aortic valve in children. It aims to see how well the reconstructed valve works and how it affects the child’s heart function over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 29 days and 12 years old
- A parent or legal caregiver must sign consent after you understand the study plan
- Your child must have an aortic valve problem (narrowing, leaking, or both) with specific heart scan measurements
- Heart imaging must meet size and structure rules (aortic Z-score above -1.5, and no severe undergrowth of the valve ring)
- There must be no other heart blockages that need urgent or immediate correction during the study

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 study tests an early, first-use version of a new pulmonary valve device for children whose own valve is not working well. It may help improve blood flow from the heart to the lungs and aims to learn how safe and effective the valve is over time.
This trial studies whether doing a procedure before birth to open a baby’s aortic valve improves outcomes. It compares this approach in a specific group of pregnancies with severe heart flow problems seen on ultrasound.
This study tests a new type of replacement valve for children who need a new pulmonary valve (the valve between the heart and lungs). Researchers want to see if the valve works safely and well in real-world use.
This trial tests a new heart valve device (Venus-Vitae) for people with severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart valve is too tight. It aims to see if the device works well for patients of all surgical risk levels.
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.
