CT scan study for people getting TAVR
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies your abdomen using a CT scan around the time you receive TAVR (a heart valve procedure). The goal is to understand how the abdomen area looks on CT and what that might mean for care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to receive a TAVR and an abdominal CT scan.
- You can safely have a CT scan (you are able to complete the scan).
- You do not have an uncontrolled allergy to the IV dye used for CT.
- If you have had an allergy to CT dye before, it must be controllable with steroid or Benadryl (per your clinician).
- Your kidney function test result (GFR) is 30 or higher, not below 30.

This trial uses a special CT scan to measure how much extra fluid is in your heart muscle. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat your atrial fibrillation before you have a procedure called ablation.
This study is a registry (a collection of information) for people who are about to have a TAVI heart valve procedure. It will see how a new type of CT scanner (the NAEOTOM Alpha) can help doctors plan the procedure better.
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 study uses a CT scan plus a personalized computer model to plan a less invasive valve replacement (TAVR). It may help doctors better prepare for the procedure using simulation before your valve is placed.
This study uses a CT scan (with contrast dye) to measure the coronary artery openings after people have a new aortic valve placed surgically. It aims to see how to best plan or understand coronary blood flow after the surgery.
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.
