Echo-guided aortic valve replacement (Echo TAVR)
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a way to replace your aortic valve using only ultrasound (echo) instead of X-rays or dye. It may be a good fit if you have severe aortic stenosis and need to avoid contrast or radiation because of kidney problems or cancer risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe aortic stenosis that causes symptoms and need a new valve.
- You cannot or choose not to have contrast dye or radiation (due to kidney disease or cancer risk).
- You have not had a previous aortic valve replacement.
- You do not have untreated major heart artery blockages needing treatment.

This trial is testing a new way to replace your aortic valve using a small tube through your armpit, guided only by ultrasound (echocardiography) instead of X-rays. It may be an option if you have severe aortic stenosis and are a good fit for this less invasive approach.
This trial compares two methods (ultrasound vs X-ray) to guide a minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure for people with severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to see if using ultrasound alone is as safe and effective as using X-ray.
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 is testing a less invasive procedure (TAVR) to fix a leaky aortic valve without open-heart surgery. It's for people with severe aortic regurgitation who are either having symptoms or showing signs of heart strain, and who are not good candidates for traditional surgery.
This trial tests a less invasive heart valve replacement (TAVR) for people with a leaky aortic valve (aortic regurgitation). It uses ultrasound guidance to place the new valve, which may offer a treatment option for those who cannot have open-heart surgery.
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.
