Emergency valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how safe and effective emergency aortic valve replacement is for people with severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart's main valve becomes narrow. It aims to help patients who are in critical condition, such as those in shock or with dangerous heart rhythms, by replacing the valve urgently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe aortic stenosis, which may be diagnosed by an ultrasound showing a very narrow valve or high pressure across the valve.
- You are facing an emergency situation, like shock, a dangerous fast heartbeat, unstable chest pain or heart failure that needs support, or you've needed CPR for cardiac arrest.
- You can agree to take part in the study, sign a consent form, and are willing to attend follow-up appointments.
- Your heart's structure must allow for the new valve to be placed safely.
- You cannot have certain other heart conditions or issues that would make the procedure too risky.
- You are able to take blood-thinning medications, and you are not allergic to the materials in the valve.

This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve in emergency situations, such as cardiac arrest or severe heart failure. It aims to help people who are too sick for standard treatments and need immediate care.
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 tests a new type of aortic valve replacement that can be inserted without open-heart surgery. It's designed for people with severe aortic stenosis who are not suitable for a standard operation.
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 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 tracks patients getting a new heart valve (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) for severe aortic stenosis. It aims to understand long-term outcomes and safety in a real-world registry.
