TAVR and heart valve calcium study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how calcium buildup in the aortic valve affects long-term results after a TAVR procedure (a minimally invasive heart valve replacement). It may help doctors understand which patients do better over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years old or older.
- You have had a TAVR procedure to replace a severely narrowed aortic valve.
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form.

This study looks for biological markers in the blood that might help predict heart-related events in people with a narrowed aortic heart valve. It aims to improve care for those with this condition, whether or not they have a procedure called TAVI to replace the valve.
This study develops and tests a new way to diagnose severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) by measuring calcium buildup on the valve using heart ultrasound. If you're already getting both an ultrasound and a CT scan of your heart, this study compares how well the ultrasound method can identify severe stenosis.
This study looks at whether people with both severe aortic valve narrowing and cardiac amyloidosis (a buildup of abnormal proteins in the heart) can benefit from a valve replacement procedure. It may help doctors understand how common this combination is and how to improve care.
This study follows people with aortic stenosis who are getting a TAVI valve replacement. It uses imaging tests (MRI and CT) to learn more about the condition and improve future care.
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 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.
