MRI study for people getting a valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses MRI (a type of scan) in people who are scheduled for a catheter-based aortic valve replacement through the groin. It aims to see how well MRI can work for these patients and potentially improve care planning around the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a narrowed aortic valve and your heart team has decided you need a valve replacement
- You are 18 years or older
- Your planned valve replacement is done through the thigh/groin (transfemoral approach)
- You must be able to give informed consent
- You cannot have a permanent pacemaker or implantable defibrillator

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special type of MRI, called 4D flow MRI, to better understand how severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve) affects heart function. It may help doctors learn more about different types of this condition and improve future treatment.
This trial studies heart imaging tests (from multiple types of scans) for people who have a narrowed aortic valve and are being checked for a valve replacement through the catheter (often called TAVI). It may help doctors better plan the procedure and understand heart function before treatment.
This study collects extra imaging data from 40 people who are already scheduled for a routine TAVI procedure to replace a narrowed aortic heart valve. The goal is to better understand the valve's structure and function using scans.
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 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 studies how well different MRI images can assess heart valve problems—like leaking (regurgitation) or narrowing (stenosis). It may help doctors get clearer information, especially in people who may not respond well to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
