Augmented reality guidance for heart valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years old or older
- You must have severe aortic stenosis (a narrow heart valve)
- You must be scheduled for a TAVR procedure, which replaces the valve using a tube inserted through the leg
- The procedure must be done through the leg (transfemoral approach)

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 a new robotic system that helps doctors perform a minimally invasive heart valve replacement. It may offer a more precise way to treat severe aortic stenosis.
This trial tests whether a robot can safely help doctors perform TAVR, a procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve. The robot assists the doctor during the procedure, which may improve precision and outcomes.
This study compares two ways of guiding a procedure to replace your aortic heart valve: using ultrasound (echo) instead of the usual X-ray (fluoroscopy). The aim is to see if the ultrasound method works just as well and is safer.
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.
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.
