Artificial polymer heart valve for aortic valve disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new artificial heart valve that replaces the damaged aortic valve. The new valve is made of a man-made material, and researchers want to see if it is safe and works well for people with aortic valve disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with severe aortic valve stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leaking).
- Your doctor has recommended surgical replacement of your aortic valve.
- You have not had a previous aortic valve replacement or other heart valve surgery.
- You do not have serious disease of other heart valves that also requires surgery.
- You do not have severe health issues like recent heart attack, stroke, severe kidney problems, or active heart infection.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of artificial heart valve made of polymer (a special plastic-like material) for people with severe aortic valve disease. It aims to see if the valve is safe and works well, giving you an option for a replacement valve that might last longer.
This study tests a new replacement valve for the aortic valve, which controls blood flow from the heart. It may help people with severe aortic valve narrowing or leaking who need surgery.
This trial is testing a new, less invasive way to replace a narrowed aortic valve using a special device. The goal is to help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath.
This trial studies a less invasive heart valve procedure that places a new valve through a catheter, to treat severe leakage of the aortic valve. It may help people who have symptoms or heart enlargement and who are at higher risk for open-heart surgery.
This study tests a new type of heart valve (called Venus-Neo) to see if it is safe and works well for people who need their aortic valve replaced. If you qualify, you may receive this valve as part of the study and be followed over time to ensure it is working properly.
This study tests a new type of prosthetic heart valve made from a special polymer material. It is for adults who need surgical replacement of either the mitral or aortic valve.
