Emergency valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve in emergency situations, such as cardiac arrest or severe heart failure. It aims to help people who are too sick for standard treatments and need immediate care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe aortic stenosis, meaning your heart valve is very narrow, as confirmed by an ultrasound of your heart.
- You are in a critical condition, such as having a cardiac arrest or being in severe heart failure that does not improve with other treatments.
- You need the procedure urgently during the same hospital stay to prevent your condition from getting worse.
- You agree to participate and sign a consent form, and you are willing to have follow-up exams.
- You do not have other major health issues that would make the procedure unsafe, like severe infections or a life expectancy of less than 6 months.

This study tests a new replacement valve for the aortic heart valve, delivered through a catheter (a thin tube) — a procedure called TAVR. It is for people who have severe aortic stenosis and are not good candidates for open-heart surgery.
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 trial studies whether a new through-the-blood-vessel heart valve (TAVR) is safe and works well for people with severe aortic stenosis who are too risky for traditional surgery. If you qualify, you would be closely followed to check your symptoms and valve function over time.
This study tracks patients getting a new heart valve (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) for severe aortic stenosis. It aims to understand long-term outcomes and safety in a real-world registry.
This trial tests whether replacing a badly narrowed aortic valve earlier—even when you feel fine—can prevent future heart problems. It compares early valve replacement (through a catheter or surgery) versus standard watchful waiting.
This study looks at how safe and effective emergency aortic valve replacement is for people with severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart's main valve becomes narrow. It aims to help patients who are in critical condition, such as those in shock or with dangerous heart rhythms, by replacing the valve urgently.
