Immune response and recovery after first-time aortic valve surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how your immune system responds to and recovers from aortic valve replacement surgery. It may help doctors understand why some people recover better than others and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older and can give consent.
- You do not have an active infection called sepsis.

This study looks at outcomes after certain heart valve surgeries using a valved graft. It may help doctors understand how well these grafts work over time in people who have had valve replacement surgery.
This study follows adults who are having aortic valve replacement (through surgery or a catheter) to see how often certain outcomes happen after the procedure. You may be asked for blood tests and scans at set times, and some people may also be offered a special CT scan.
This study looks at people with severe aortic stenosis who are getting a TAVI procedure (a way to replace the heart valve without open surgery) to see if we can predict how well they will do afterwards. It may help doctors plan better care and rehab for people like you.
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 checks how well an aortic valve replacement works many years after the procedure. It may help doctors understand long-term valve function and identify people who might need closer monitoring.
This study follows adults who are having aortic valve replacement to better understand outcomes across different hospitals in Europe. It may help your care team compare results and improve future treatment planning.
