Comparing Two Heart Valve Types for Aortic Stenosis with Aorta Dilation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests two types of artificial heart valves—one that expands on its own and one expanded with a balloon—in people with a widened upper aorta. The goal is to see which works better for your condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve).
- The procedure will be done through a leg artery (transfemoral).
- Your ascending aorta (main artery from the heart) is between 45 mm and 54 mm wide.
- You are expected to live more than 1 year.
- You are age 65 or older.

This trial tests two types of replacement heart valves (self-expanding and balloon-expanding) in people who have severe aortic stenosis (tight heart valve) and an enlarged aorta (the main blood vessel from the heart). The goal is to see which valve type works better for these patients.
This trial looks at how the ascending aorta (the main artery near the heart) changes over time after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. It may help doctors predict who is at risk of aorta enlargement after this less-invasive valve procedure.
This trial tests a technique to make sure the replacement heart valve expands evenly during a TAVI procedure for people with severe aortic stenosis. It may improve how well the new valve works.
This trial tests a modified surgical technique for replacing a narrowed aortic valve in people whose valve opening is unusually small. The goal is to help the new valve fit better and work well.
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 compares different types of heart valves (surgical and less-invasive) used in people with a small heart valve opening. It aims to see which valves work best, and will follow up with patients who already had the procedure.
