Comparing ways to measure valve pressure after TAVI
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well a new method (using echo) compares to the standard invasive method for measuring pressure across the new valve after TAVI. It may help doctors monitor your valve function with less risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and can agree to take part.
- You have severe aortic valve narrowing (stenosis) that causes symptoms and needs a TAVI procedure.
- You are getting a balloon-expandable type of replacement valve.
- You sign a consent form to join the study.
- You do not need the procedure done as an emergency or for urgent reasons.
- You are not currently in unstable condition (for example, very low blood pressure or shock).
- You have not had a tissue (bioprosthetic) aortic valve put in before.
- You can follow the study plan and complete all required visits.

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 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 trial tests two types of replacement heart valves (self-expanding and balloon-expanding) in people who have severe aortic stenosis (tight heart valve) and an enlarged aorta (the main blood vessel from the heart). The goal is to see which valve type works better for these patients.
This study compares two types of replacement heart valves used in a procedure to treat aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve). It aims to see which valve is safer by measuring tiny particles that may travel to the brain during the procedure.
This trial compares two different types of replacement heart valves for people whose previous surgical aortic valve has failed. Both valves are placed using a less invasive method (through a leg artery), and the study aims to see which option works better for this 'valve-in-valve' procedure.
This study tests a new way to use X-ray images during a TAVI procedure to check how well the new valve is working right away. It may help doctors make real-time adjustments to improve the outcome.
