Check treatment for aortic enlargement with tricuspid valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how to treat an enlarged part of the ascending aorta in people who have a tricuspid aortic valve. It may help slow or manage the risk connected to aorta enlargement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your ascending aorta is enlarged to between 45 and 55 mm
- You have a tricuspid aortic valve (three leaflets), not two
- You are older than 45 years
- You are 75 years or younger
- You do not have multiple organ failure
- You do not have an active cancer or cancer diagnosis

This trial compares two ways to treat an enlarged (bigger) ascending aorta: having surgery now versus careful imaging follow-up (surveillance). It may help you and your care team decide which approach lowers the risk of serious problems for aneurysms in a specific size range.
This trial looks at how the ascending aorta (the main artery near the heart) changes over time after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. It may help doctors predict who is at risk of aorta enlargement after this less-invasive valve procedure.
This trial tests two types of replacement heart valves (self-expanding and balloon-expanding) in people who have severe aortic stenosis (tight heart valve) and an enlarged aorta (the main blood vessel from the heart). The goal is to see which valve type works better for these patients.
This trial tests two types of artificial heart valves—one that expands on its own and one expanded with a balloon—in people with a widened upper aorta. The goal is to see which works better for your condition.
This trial tests a treatment to help people with a mildly enlarged ascending aorta. It aims to slow down growth and prevent future heart problems.
This trial tests a modified surgical technique for replacing a narrowed aortic valve in people whose valve opening is unusually small. The goal is to help the new valve fit better and work well.
