Predicting recovery after minimally invasive aortic valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people with severe aortic stenosis who are getting a TAVI procedure (a way to replace the heart valve without open surgery) to see if we can predict how well they will do afterwards. It may help doctors plan better care and rehab for people like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe narrowing of your aortic valve that causes symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
- You are able to walk and do light exercise (no leg or other body problems that stop you).
- You are willing to take part in cardiac rehab.
- Your TAVI procedure is done through the groin (not through the chest).
- Your heart's pumping function is strong enough (ejection fraction is 40% or higher).

This study looks at how replacing a narrowed heart valve affects fluid in the lungs. It may help doctors better understand recovery after this procedure.
This study looks at how well the new heart valve works after a TAVI procedure, using pressure measurements to see if blood flow improves. It aims to confirm that the treatment is effective for people with severe aortic stenosis.
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 looks at whether a simple exercise test (called CPET) can help predict how much your heart function will improve after TAVI, a procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve. If you're scheduled for TAVI through your leg artery and are 18 or older, you might be able to join.
This study tests whether a less invasive valve replacement (TAVI) can be done safely in hospitals that don't have a full heart surgery team on site. If you have severe aortic stenosis and are 70 or older, this trial might offer a new option with a shorter recovery than open-heart surgery.
This study checks whether an “investigational” transcatheter aortic valve is safe and works well for people with severe, calcified aortic stenosis (a stiff, narrowed heart valve). It may help improve valve function and symptoms, but you must meet specific heart, scan, and health-status requirements.
