Monitoring a new aortic heart valve for safety and effectiveness
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests how well a new replacement heart valve works and how safe it is. You might qualify if you need a planned first-time aortic valve replacement and are 60-70 years old (or younger if you cannot take blood thinners).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to live near the study center or be able to travel there for visits.
- You must be 60-70 years old and expected to live at least 3 more years, or be younger than 60 with a reason you can't take blood thinners.
- The surgery must be your first heart valve surgery, and only on your aortic valve (no other heart or aorta procedures at the same time).
- Your surgery must be planned, not an emergency.
- You cannot have active heart valve infection, severe lung problems, or certain health conditions like cancer that would shorten your life.
- You should not have severe symptoms like shortness of breath at rest or a very weak heart pump.

This study tests a new biological heart valve called 'UniLine' for people who need to replace their mitral valve (the valve between the left heart chambers) or aortic valve (the main valve sending blood to the body) for the first time. If you qualify, you would have planned surgery (not an emergency) and need to be free of certain other serious health conditions.
This trial tests a new polymer heart valve for people with severe aortic valve narrowing or leakage. It aims to see if the valve is safe and works well as a replacement.
This trial tests a new type of artificial heart valve made of polymer (a special plastic-like material) for people with severe aortic valve disease. It aims to see if the valve is safe and works well, giving you an option for a replacement valve that might last longer.
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 trial tests how safe and effective a new artificial aortic valve (Venus-Neo) is for people who need an aortic valve replacement. It may help by offering another option, while researchers closely track outcomes after the procedure.
This study tests a biological (tissue) heart valve replacement system designed to be easier to change later. It may help people who need valve surgery because their valve is narrowed or damaged.
