Using augmented reality to guide heart valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new computer guidance system that helps doctors see your heart on a screen during the TAVR valve replacement procedure. The goal is to make the procedure safer and more precise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You have severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve).
- You are scheduled to have a TAVR procedure (a way to replace the valve without open-heart surgery) through a blood vessel in your leg.

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 tests a new replacement valve for the aortic heart valve, delivered through a catheter (a thin tube) — a procedure called TAVR. It is for people who have severe aortic stenosis and are not good candidates for open-heart surgery.
This trial is testing a new, less invasive way to replace a narrowed aortic valve using a special device. The goal is to help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath.
This study tests a new software that helps doctors see exactly where to place your new heart valve during a TAVR procedure. The software uses augmented reality to guide the doctor, which may make the procedure safer and more precise.
This trial tests whether a new augmented reality system helps doctors perform a less invasive heart valve replacement. The system overlays images onto the patient to guide the procedure, which may improve precision and safety.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) support helps patients feel more informed and prepared for an elective heart valve procedure (TAVI). It’s meant for people who already plan to have a valve replacement through the groin using a catheter, with pain medicines rather than full anesthesia.
