Transcatheter valve implant trial for severe aortic stenosis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a new device that can replace a tight aortic heart valve through a catheter (not open-heart surgery). It focuses on people with severe, symptomatic valve narrowing who are higher risk for surgery and checks how safe the procedure is and how well it works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 65 or older.
- You have severe aortic stenosis with symptoms confirmed by an echocardiogram.
- Your heart team says surgery is not recommended, or surgery risk is high (STS score 8% or higher).
- You can give informed consent and agree to join the study.
- You should generally NOT have an expected life span of less than 1 year after the procedure.

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 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.
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 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 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.
