New balloon safety in TAVI for severe aortic stenosis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe aortic stenosis (a tight valve) and symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
- Your heart team has agreed that TAVI is the right procedure for you.
- You are 18 years or older and willing to follow the study plan.
- The TAVI will be done through an artery in your leg (transfemoral approach).
- You do not have a permanent pacemaker or certain pre-existing heart blocks.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure called TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) to replace a narrowed aortic valve without requiring open-heart surgery. The study is checking whether TAVI can be safely performed at hospitals that don't have cardiac surgery units on-site.
This trial tests if a heart valve replacement procedure called TAVI can be safely done at heart centers that do not have a full heart surgery team available onsite. It is for people with severe narrowing of the aortic valve who are already planned for TAVI through the leg artery.
This trial tests whether a shockwave balloon placed through the femoral (groin) artery works better than the standard balloon approach during TAVI in people with difficult, heavily calcified leg/artery access. It may help improve the success and safety of getting instruments through the groin when arteries are “stiff and narrowed.”
