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.

This study tests whether a more precise way of aligning the replacement valve during a minimally invasive aortic valve procedure improves outcomes. It may help people with severe aortic stenosis get a longer-lasting, better-functioning valve.
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 compares two types of replacement heart valves (balloon-expandable and self-expanding) for people whose prior surgical aortic valve is no longer working. It looks at which valve type offers better outcomes when placed through a catheter in the leg.
This study compares two types of replacement heart valves used in a procedure to treat aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve). It aims to see which valve is safer by measuring tiny particles that may travel to the brain during the procedure.
This study looks at two different ways of expanding a new heart valve during a minimally invasive procedure called TAVI. It aims to find out which method gives the best fit and function of the valve in people with severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve).
This trial compares two different types of replacement heart valves for people whose previous surgical aortic valve has failed. Both valves are placed using a less invasive method (through a leg artery), and the study aims to see which option works better for this 'valve-in-valve' procedure.
