Improving valve alignment in aortic valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a more precise way of aligning the replacement valve during a minimally invasive aortic valve procedure improves outcomes. It may help people with severe aortic stenosis get a longer-lasting, better-functioning valve.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years or older.
- You must have severe aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the heart's main valve).
- You must be scheduled to receive a specific type of self-expanding valve (Evolut FX+).
- You must not have had a prior aortic valve replacement or have a bicuspid valve.
- Your kidney function must be adequate (eGFR ≥30).
- You must have blood vessels in your legs that can accommodate the procedure.

This study looks at two different ways of expanding a new heart valve during a minimally invasive procedure called TAVI. It aims to find out which method gives the best fit and function of the valve in people with severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve).
This study looks at how well the new heart valve works after a TAVI procedure, using pressure measurements to see if blood flow improves. It aims to confirm that the treatment is effective for people with severe aortic stenosis.
This trial tests two types of replacement heart valves (self-expanding and balloon-expanding) in people who have severe aortic stenosis (tight heart valve) and an enlarged aorta (the main blood vessel from the heart). The goal is to see which valve type works better for these patients.
This study tests whether a less invasive valve replacement (TAVI) can be done safely in hospitals that don't have a full heart surgery team on site. If you have severe aortic stenosis and are 70 or older, this trial might offer a new option with a shorter recovery than open-heart surgery.
This study looks at how replacing a narrowed heart valve affects fluid in the lungs. It may help doctors better understand recovery after this procedure.
This study looks at how the placement of a new aortic valve (TAVR) affects blood flow through the valve and into the heart arteries. It may help doctors understand best practices for people who already had a TAVR procedure.
