Study immune response after first open aortic valve surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how your immune system responds after your first open-heart aortic valve replacement surgery. It may help doctors understand why outcomes differ and how immune changes after surgery affect recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having your first open aortic valve replacement (not a repeat surgery)
- You are age 18 or older
- You do not currently have a serious infection called sepsis
- You are not taking medications that suppress the immune system
- You are not pregnant and do not have a known immunosuppressive illness

This trial tests how well a new replacement heart valve works and how safe it is. You might qualify if you need a planned first-time aortic valve replacement and are 60-70 years old (or younger if you cannot take blood thinners).
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 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 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.
