CT-FFR guided heart treatment for severe aortic stenosis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special CT scan (CT-FFR) to guide treatment improves outcomes for people with severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve). It may help doctors decide between valve replacement surgery or a less invasive procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have severe aortic stenosis, confirmed by an ultrasound of your heart.
- You have symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, or fatigue that limit your activity.
- You are a candidate for both a minimally invasive valve replacement (through a leg artery) and open-heart surgery to replace the valve.
- You are willing to have a special CT scan of your heart arteries before the procedure.
- You have no allergies to the valve materials or the dye used in CT scans.
- You have not had a heart valve replacement or bypass surgery before.

This trial tests a new valve device placed through a small tube (catheter) to treat severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the aortic valve is narrowed and doesn't open fully. It's for patients who cannot have traditional open-heart surgery.
This study checks whether an “investigational” transcatheter aortic valve is safe and works well for people with severe, calcified aortic stenosis (a stiff, narrowed heart valve). It may help improve valve function and symptoms, but you must meet specific heart, scan, and health-status requirements.
This trial compares two approaches for replacing a tight aortic heart valve (TAVI) through a leg artery: doing it with or without a routine check of your heart's arteries (coronary angiogram). If you have severe aortic stenosis and are scheduled for TAVI, this study helps find out whether skipping the artery check is safe and effective.
This study is looking at how well doctors can reach the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle) after a TAVI procedure using the Evolut FX Plus valve. It may help improve future procedures for people with severe aortic stenosis.
This study tests a new replacement valve for the aortic heart valve, delivered through a catheter (a thin tube) — a procedure called TAVR. It is for people who have severe aortic stenosis and are not good candidates for open-heart surgery.
This trial tests a new type of aortic valve replacement that can be inserted without open-heart surgery. It's designed for people with severe aortic stenosis who are not suitable for a standard operation.
