Testing a new filter to prevent stroke during heart valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new filter device designed to catch debris that might travel to the brain during a minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The goal is to see if it can help reduce the risk of stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have a TAVR (aortic valve replacement through a leg artery).
- You are able and willing to follow up with the study team after the procedure.
- You meet the criteria to use the standard filter device (Sentinel).

This study tests a device called ShortCut that helps doctors perform a valve-in-valve procedure, which replaces a failing artificial heart valve without open-heart surgery. It may help people who are at risk of blocked coronary arteries during this procedure.
This study tests if a special device placed during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) can help prevent stroke. It is for adults with severe aortic stenosis who are already scheduled for TAVR.
This trial studies a new balloon used during a TAVI procedure to replace your aortic valve without open-heart surgery. It aims to see if the balloon is safe and works well for people with severe aortic stenosis.
This early feasibility study tests a device filter system used during a TAVR procedure to help protect the brain and other organs from debris that can break free. It looks mainly at whether the filter can be safely placed and delivered as planned.
This trial is testing a new device called POINT-GUARD that is used during TAVR (a procedure to replace a heart valve). It aims to see if the device can safely catch any debris or particles that might travel to the brain during the procedure.
This trial tests a new device (EmStop) that helps protect your brain during TAVR (a type of heart valve replacement). The device is placed in arteries to catch any debris that might break loose during the procedure, potentially reducing the risk of stroke.
