Optimizing valve placement during TAVI
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a better way to position a new heart valve during a TAVI procedure. The goal is to help the valve work as well as possible for people with severe aortic stenosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe narrowing of your aortic heart valve (the main valve that pumps blood to your body).
- Your doctor has decided a TAVI procedure (a less invasive valve replacement) is right for you.
- You are not taking a blood thinner for conditions like atrial fibrillation or a blood clot.
- Your kidneys are working well enough (not on dialysis and with a creatinine clearance above 15).
- You can safely have a CT scan of your heart (no allergy to iodine contrast dye).

This study follows people with aortic stenosis who are getting a TAVI valve replacement. It uses imaging tests (MRI and CT) to learn more about the condition and improve future care.
This trial tests a new way to position the Evolut FX+ valve in people with severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to improve how the valve lines up with your own heart structure, which may help it work better.
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 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 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 study uses a CT scan plus a personalized computer model to plan a less invasive valve replacement (TAVR). It may help doctors better prepare for the procedure using simulation before your valve is placed.
