Transcatheter aortic valve replacement for leaking aortic valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a catheter-based procedure to replace a severely leaking aortic valve without open-heart surgery. It may help people who have symptoms or heart damage from a leaky valve and are not good candidates for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have a severely leaking aortic valve that is confirmed by an echocardiogram.
- You must have symptoms (like chest pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue) or signs that your heart is struggling because of the leaky valve.
- Your heart team must decide you are not a good candidate for open-heart surgery or that a catheter-based approach is better for you.
- You must not have an active infection in your heart or elsewhere in your body, and you must not have serious aortic disease that requires surgery.

This study tests a less invasive procedure to replace a leaky aortic valve in people who can't have open-heart surgery. The goal is to help your heart pump better and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests whether a 3D computer simulation can help guide a less invasive procedure (TAVR) to replace a leaky aortic valve. It may be an option for people with severe aortic regurgitation who are at least 65 years old.
This study tests a new valve replacement for people with severe aortic regurgitation (leaky heart valve) who are not good candidates for open surgery. The valve is put in through a small tube in the leg, which may be less risky for high-risk patients.
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 trial tests a way to replace your aortic valve using only ultrasound (echo) instead of X-rays or dye. It may be a good fit if you have severe aortic stenosis and need to avoid contrast or radiation because of kidney problems or cancer risk.
This trial tests a procedure called TAVR to replace the aortic valve in people with severe aortic regurgitation (a leaky valve). It may help you if you have this condition and prefer a less invasive option than open-heart surgery.
