Imaging study after TAVI valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe narrowing of your aortic heart valve (aortic stenosis) that causes symptoms.
- You have had a good-quality heart ultrasound (echo) and CT scan within the last 6 months, and your heart was in normal rhythm (sinus rhythm) during both tests.
- You are not on blood thinners (oral anticoagulation) and do not plan to take them.
- You have not had a previous TAVI or aortic valve replacement surgery.

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 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 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 looks at whether certain valve blood clots (called “subclinical leaflet thrombosis”) and different valve types are linked to valve aging over time. It uses a special PET-CT scan and an echocardiogram to measure changes in the heart valve about five years after TAVI.
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 compares regular monitoring (“clinical surveillance”) versus replacing the aortic valve using a minimally invasive procedure called TAVR for people with moderate aortic stenosis. It aims to see which approach better reduces symptoms or heart damage over time.
