TAVI with or without heart artery check for severe aortic stenosis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have severe aortic stenosis (a tight heart valve).
- Your heart team has decided you are a good candidate for a valve replacement through a leg artery (called transfemoral TAVI).
- You are willing to sign a consent form and attend follow-up visits.
- You have not had a heart artery test (like an angiogram, CT, or bypass) in the last 5 years.
- You have never had a stent in the main left heart artery, and you do not have severe chest pain (Class 3 or higher).
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is above 30%, and you have not had a heart attack in the last 30 days.

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.
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 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 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 trial compares different methods to evaluate coronary artery disease in patients planning to have a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to find out if a less invasive approach is as safe and effective as the standard one.
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.
