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 tests a new way to replace your narrowed aortic valve without open-heart surgery, using a device called SAPIEN 3. It is designed for people with a specific valve shape (Type 0 bicuspid) who have severe symptoms.
This study looks at two different ways of expanding a new heart valve during a minimally invasive procedure called TAVI. It aims to find out which method gives the best fit and function of the valve in people with severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve).
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.
