Electrical Stimulation for Low Blood Pressure During TAVR
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a TAVR procedure (a heart valve replacement done through a tube in an artery) under general anesthesia.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30 (a measure of weight relative to height).
- You do not have unstable blood pressure or heart rhythm problems, and you are not already on medicine for low blood pressure.
- You do not have severe liver or kidney problems, and you have no skin infections, damage, or implanted electronic devices where the electrical pads would be placed.

This trial compares two types of fluids (crystalloids and colloids) given during anesthesia for TAVR, a minimally invasive heart valve replacement. It aims to find which fluid better maintains blood pressure and heart function during the procedure.
This trial tests if a gentle, non-invasive ear stimulation device can help relieve depression in people who have had a heart attack and a stent placed. It aims to offer a drug-free option for those who choose not to take antidepressants or see a therapist.
This trial tests how often electrical stimulation at acupoints should be given to prevent low blood pressure when older adults start general anesthesia for surgery.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation at specific points on the body (like acupressure) can help lower blood pressure without medication. It may be a good option if you have mild high blood pressure and are not currently taking drugs for it.
This trial studies whether electro-acupuncture can improve blood pressure in people with mild coronary artery disease or high blood pressure. If it works, it may offer a non-medicine approach to better blood pressure control.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation at specific acupoints can reduce stomach acid backing up into the throat during surgery with a breathing tube. It may help patients avoid reflux-related complications.
