Catheter-based aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to replace a narrowed aortic valve using a catheter, without open-heart surgery. It may help people with severe aortic stenosis who are too frail or high-risk for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You have severe aortic stenosis, meaning your aortic valve is very narrow, causing symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting
- Your doctor has determined that open-heart surgery is too risky or not appropriate for you
- You have not had a heart attack, stent, pacemaker, or heart surgery in the past month
- You are expected to live more than one year
- You are able to take blood-thinning medications

This trial tests a new heart valve replacement done through a catheter (not open-heart surgery) in older adults with severe aortic valve narrowing. It’s mainly for people who are high-risk or not good candidates for standard surgery, to see if the new valve improves outcomes.
This trial looks at placing a new aortic valve through the groin (transfemoral) without needing on-site heart surgery for people who are considered very high risk for standard open-heart valve surgery. It aims to measure early outcomes to see how safe and effective this approach is for frail or complex patients.
This study tests whether a less invasive valve replacement (TAVI) can be done safely in hospitals that don't have a full heart surgery team on site. If you have severe aortic stenosis and are 70 or older, this trial might offer a new option with a shorter recovery than open-heart surgery.
This study tests a catheter-based procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve without traditional open-heart surgery. It's designed for patients who are at higher risk for surgery due to age, health conditions, or anatomy.
This trial tests if surgery to replace your aortic valve is safe and effective for people with severe aortic stenosis who are at low risk for complications. It compares surgery to another procedure to see which works best.
This trial tests a new valve device placed through a small tube (catheter) to treat severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the aortic valve is narrowed and doesn't open fully. It's for patients who cannot have traditional open-heart surgery.
