Antibiotics before heart valve replacement procedure trial
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections clinical trials.
This trial is for patients getting a new aortic heart valve (TAVI). It tests whether giving antibiotics before the procedure helps prevent infections. If you are getting a TAVI in Denmark, you may be eligible.

This trial compares two blood thinners (ticagrelor and aspirin) to see which one works better at preventing blood clots after a less-invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI). It is for people with severe aortic stenosis who also have diabetes, heart disease, or artery disease.
This trial tests a new heart valve device (Venus-Vitae) for people with severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart valve is too tight. It aims to see if the device works well for patients of all surgical risk levels.
This trial studies heart imaging tests (from multiple types of scans) for people who have a narrowed aortic valve and are being checked for a valve replacement through the catheter (often called TAVI). It may help doctors better plan the procedure and understand heart function before treatment.
This trial measures how your body handles certain intravenous antibiotics used for endocarditis, an infection of the heart valves. It may help doctors understand the best antibiotic dosing for people with valve infections.
This trial tests whether a dental checkup before heart valve surgery can improve recovery and prevent complications. If you are scheduled for a heart valve procedure, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a dental check-up before heart valve surgery can help lower the risk of a serious heart infection after the operation.
