New valve procedure for failing aortic bioprosthetic valves
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a new transcatheter aortic valve (SAPIEN X4) is safe and works well in people whose previously implanted aortic valve is now failing. It may help reduce valve symptoms in higher-surgery-risk patients who are not good candidates for open-heart valve replacement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a failing previously implanted aortic valve that has at least moderate narrowing and and/or leaking
- Your prior valve size is a good match for the SAPIEN X4 valve
- Your heart symptoms are at least moderate (NYHA class II or higher)
- Your heart team says you are high (or higher) risk for surgery
- You can agree to the study and sign informed consent

This study follows patients with severe aortic stenosis who get a new heart valve (the SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA) through a less invasive procedure (TAVR). Researchers want to see how well this valve works over time using special heart ultrasound tests.
This study compares regular monitoring (“clinical surveillance”) versus replacing the aortic valve using a minimally invasive procedure called TAVR for people with moderate aortic stenosis. It aims to see which approach better reduces symptoms or heart damage over time.
This trial tests two different replacement heart valves (Allegra and Sapien) to see which works better for people who need a new valve placed inside a previously implanted surgical valve. It aims to help patients with a failing biological aortic valve who are already scheduled for this procedure.
This trial tests a new version of a heart valve (SAPIEN X4) placed without open-heart surgery. It's for people with severe aortic stenosis who have symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain.
This trial tests a new, less invasive heart valve (called SAPIEN X4) placed through a vein in your leg to replace a failing mitral valve that was previously repaired or replaced. It is for people who are at high risk for open-heart surgery and have a leaky or narrowed mitral valve.
This trial studies a new “valve-in-valve” procedure to treat a failing aortic bioprosthetic valve. It may help people improve blood flow through the heart valve and reduce valve-related problems.
