Testing a new easy-change heart valve replacement system
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a biological (tissue) heart valve replacement system designed to be easier to change later. It may help people who need valve surgery because their valve is narrowed or damaged.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need surgery for a diseased aortic valve, with specific heart scan results
- Your aortic valve narrowing may be severe, or moderate if you also need bypass surgery
- You also have mitral valve disease that requires surgery
- You should not need replacement of two or more heart valves
- Your heart pumping strength (LVEF) must be 45% or higher
- You must be able and willing to join the study

This study tests a new biological heart valve called 'UniLine' for people who need to replace their mitral valve (the valve between the left heart chambers) or aortic valve (the main valve sending blood to the body) for the first time. If you qualify, you would have planned surgery (not an emergency) and need to be free of certain other serious health conditions.
This trial is testing a new, less invasive way to replace a narrowed aortic valve using a special device. The goal is to help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath.
This study tests a new type of prosthetic heart valve made from a special polymer material. It is for adults who need surgical replacement of either the mitral or aortic valve.
This study tests a new replacement valve for the aortic valve, which controls blood flow from the heart. It may help people with severe aortic valve narrowing or leaking who need surgery.
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.
This trial tests a new type of artificial heart valve made of polymer (a special plastic-like material) for people with severe aortic valve disease. It aims to see if the valve is safe and works well, giving you an option for a replacement valve that might last longer.
