TAVR sizing study for bicuspid aortic valve patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special sizing method (ABC algorithm) to help doctors select the right valve for people with a bicuspid aortic valve. It aims to improve outcomes for those getting a Sapien 3 valve through a catheter (TAVR).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a bicuspid aortic valve (two flaps instead of three).
- You have severe aortic stenosis (the valve is tight) or a mix of stenosis and leakage that needs treatment.
- You don't have other heart problems that require surgery.
- You've already had a high-quality CT scan for TAVR planning that includes special images of the heart.
- You would receive a Sapien 3 valve if the doctor finds it's a good fit for your anatomy.
- You have a blood vessel that can safely deliver the catheter for the Sapien 3 valve.

This study tests a “solution” approach using a self-expanding valve during TAVR (a less invasive way to replace a narrowed aortic valve). It aims to improve how well the valve fits and works in people with a specific heart valve shape (bicuspid aortic stenosis).
This trial compares a less invasive valve replacement (TAVR) with traditional open-heart surgery for people with a specific type of severe aortic valve narrowing (bicuspid valve). It aims to see which approach works better for those at intermediate or low surgical risk.
This study looks at how safe and effective the SAPIEN 3 valve is for patients in China who have a specific type of bicuspid aortic valve (Type-0) that is severely narrowed. If you have severe aortic stenosis and meet the criteria, this treatment might be an option for you.
This trial tests a technique to make sure the replacement heart valve expands evenly during a TAVI procedure for people with severe aortic stenosis. It may improve how well the new valve works.
This trial compares a “smaller valve sizing” approach versus the usual sizing method during TAVR (a catheter-based valve replacement) for people with bicuspid aortic stenosis. The study aims to see which method improves safety and outcomes for the right valve fit.
This trial looks back at people with a specific type of bicuspid aortic valve (a valve with two flaps instead of three) who had a transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Researchers want to see how well a special sizing method called LIRA worked for choosing the right valve size.
