TAVI heart valve procedure without onsite heart surgery backup
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe narrowing of your aortic valve (aortic stenosis) and your heart team has already decided you can have TAVI through the leg artery.
- You have given your written permission to be part of this study.
- Your CT scan shows your heart and arteries are in a safe shape for the procedure (no high-risk features listed).
- Your kidney function is good enough (estimated GFR of at least 15, unless you are on dialysis).
- You are expected to live at least 3 more years and can complete a 1-year follow-up.

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 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 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 access routes (non-groin pathways) for TAVI, a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve. If your groin vessels aren't suitable, this trial explores whether other body routes can safely deliver the new valve.
This study tests whether a procedure called TAVI (a valve replacement done through a tube in the leg) can help people with severe aortic stenosis who are in cardiogenic shock, a dangerous condition where the heart can't pump enough blood. The goal is to see if urgent valve replacement improves survival.
