Comparing two self-expanding aortic valves in TAVR
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of self-expanding aortic valves used during a minimally invasive procedure called TAVR. It aims to see which type works better in everyday practice.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are eligible for a TAVR procedure to replace your aortic valve.
- You will receive a self-expanding valve (a type that opens automatically).
- Your doctor can access your heart through your femoral artery (in the groin).
- This is the first time you are getting a new aortic valve, not a replacement of a previous one.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two types of replacement heart valves (self-expanding and balloon-expanding) in people who have severe aortic stenosis (tight heart valve) and an enlarged aorta (the main blood vessel from the heart). The goal is to see which valve type works better for these patients.
This trial tests two types of artificial heart valves—one that expands on its own and one expanded with a balloon—in people with a widened upper aorta. The goal is to see which works better for your condition.
This trial looks at how well a new method (using echo) compares to the standard invasive method for measuring pressure across the new valve after TAVI. It may help doctors monitor your valve function with less risk.
This trial compares different types of heart valves (surgical and less-invasive) used in people with a small heart valve opening. It aims to see which valves work best, and will follow up with patients who already had the procedure.
This trial is studying how well a new type of heart valve works in real-life patients with aortic valve disease. It will help doctors understand if this valve is safe and effective for people who need a procedure called TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement).
This trial tests a technique to make sure the replacement heart valve expands evenly during a TAVI procedure for people with severe aortic stenosis. It may improve how well the new valve works.
