Lung blood vessel health in people getting heart valve procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how lung blood vessels work in people who are getting their heart valve fixed or replaced. It may help doctors understand and manage related lung issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a heart valve procedure, like valve repair or replacement.
- You do not have congenital heart disease (except a bicuspid aortic valve).
- You do not have carcinoid heart disease, a valve mass, or an active valve infection (endocarditis).
- You do not have any other condition that your doctor thinks might make it hard for you to complete the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at pulmonary hypertension—high blood pressure in the lung arteries—in people with certain heart conditions (heart failure with preserved or reduced pumping function, or significant valve disease). It may help doctors better understand how lung blood pressure changes in these heart problems and guide care.
This study enrolls adults in the hospital with certain heart valve problems to track their health over time. It may help doctors better understand how valve disease behaves and what outcomes look like in real life.
This study looks at lung tissue taken out after a treatment that places a one-way lung valve to help breathing. They want to learn how the valve affects the airway and lung over time.
This study looks at how replacing a narrowed heart valve affects fluid in the lungs. It may help doctors better understand recovery after this procedure.
This study looks at how heart failure affects blood vessels in the lungs. If you have heart failure with reduced pumping ability and need a heart catheterization, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work together during exercise. It involves an exercise test with an ultrasound of your heart (echocardiogram) to measure blood flow. This may help doctors better understand and diagnose conditions like pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).
