TAVI at centers without on-site heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether TAVI (a procedure to replace your heart valve without open-heart surgery) can be done safely at centers that do not have on-site heart surgery backup. It looks at how well patients do after the procedure, focusing on safety and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe aortic stenosis, meaning your aortic valve is narrowed and you have symptoms.
- Your heart team has approved you to get a TAVI procedure through the leg (transfemoral).
- You do not have certain high-risk features on your CT scan that would make the procedure unsafe.
- Your kidney function is not severely low (unless you are on dialysis).
- You are expected to live at least 3 more years.
- You can attend follow-up visits for 1 year after the procedure.

This study tests a catheter-based procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve without traditional open-heart surgery. It's designed for patients who are at higher risk for surgery due to age, health conditions, or anatomy.
This trial compares two approaches for replacing a tight aortic heart valve (TAVI) through a leg artery: doing it with or without a routine check of your heart's arteries (coronary angiogram). If you have severe aortic stenosis and are scheduled for TAVI, this study helps find out whether skipping the artery check is safe and effective.
This study tests whether a less invasive valve replacement (TAVI) can be done safely in hospitals that don't have a full heart surgery team on site. If you have severe aortic stenosis and are 70 or older, this trial might offer a new option with a shorter recovery than open-heart surgery.
This study tests a new replacement valve for the aortic heart valve, delivered through a catheter (a thin tube) — a procedure called TAVR. It is for people who have severe aortic stenosis and are not good candidates for open-heart surgery.
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 tests different ways to do a TAVI procedure (a treatment to replace a narrowed heart valve) when doctors cannot use the usual route through the groin. It looks at using alternative blood vessels in the body to reach the heart.
