CT scan and computer planning before TAVR valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe aortic valve narrowing causing symptoms
- Your doctor has accepted you for TAVR (through the groin, under the collarbone, or the chest side)
- You are planned to receive a specific TAVR valve brand/model that the study device supports
- You can give informed consent and understand the study
- You have not had prior surgical valve replacement in the aortic position
- Your CT scan quality is good enough for the computer model to be made

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 looks at whether a CT scan of the chest before aortic valve replacement surgery (with or without bypass) can help doctors plan the procedure better. It is for people with severe aortic valve stenosis who are already scheduled for 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 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 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.
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.
