Fluid choice during anesthesia for heart valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of fluids given during anesthesia for a heart valve procedure (TAVR) to see which one better supports blood pressure and heart function. It aims to find the safest and most effective fluid for patients undergoing this surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a TAVR procedure (a type of heart valve replacement) under general anesthesia.
- You do not have severe heart failure (ejection fraction below 35%).
- You do not have severe kidney problems (creatinine above 132 μg/L or needing dialysis).
- You are not severely obese (BMI over 37.5, or over 32.5 with metabolic conditions).
- You have no allergies to the study fluids (hydroxyethyl starch or lactated Ringer's solution).

This trial tests whether using a heart ultrasound before surgery can help doctors better manage your blood volume. If you are having surgery under general anesthesia and have a higher risk of heart problems, this study may help improve your safety.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation at specific points on the body can help prevent low blood pressure during TAVR, a minimally invasive heart valve procedure. It may help people who are at risk for blood pressure drops during surgery.
This trial compares two types of IV fluids (a starch solution vs. a balanced salt solution) to see which one better protects kidneys after heart surgery. It is for adults having planned heart surgery who do not have severe kidney problems.
This study tracks patients who get a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR), a procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve without open-heart surgery. It looks at the type of anesthesia used during the procedure and records outcomes to learn what works best for patients.
This study looks at how the fluid used to fill the heart-lung machine affects the body's chemistry and recovery in patients having heart surgery. It may help doctors choose the best fluid for better outcomes after bypass surgery.
This trial looks at how a breathing maneuver during surgery can safely lower blood pressure and help doctors decide whether you need extra fluids. It may help guide your care during surgery to keep you stable and reduce complications.
