Pain relief for TAVI valve procedure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests two numbing injections for people having a new aortic valve placed through a leg artery (TAVI). One injection is near the hip bone, the other in the groin area. The goal is to see which one provides better pain control while keeping you awake and comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 20 years old.
- You have severe aortic stenosis (tight valve in the heart).
- You are scheduled for a planned, non-emergency transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) through the leg.
- You will receive either the Sapien 3 or CoreValve device.

This study compares two ways of guiding a procedure to replace your aortic heart valve: using ultrasound (echo) instead of the usual X-ray (fluoroscopy). The aim is to see if the ultrasound method works just as well and is safer.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during hip surgery: a nerve block in the groin area versus a spinal medication. The goal is to find which approach offers better pain control with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (pain shots) given before a TAVI procedure to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery. If you are scheduled for a TAVI and meet the health criteria, you may be able to participate.
This trial tests a new numbing injection near the hip to see if it improves pain control after hip surgery. It may help you require less pain medicine and feel more comfortable during recovery.
This trial tests a nerve block (injection of numbing medicine near the chest wall) to control pain after aortic valve replacement through a small right-sided chest incision. It may help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
This trial tests whether an injection of numbing medicine near the hip can help control pain after a hip replacement surgery. It may be an option for people who have significant pain after their operation.
