Can pressure measurements predict TAVI success?
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether pressure readings taken during a heart procedure can help predict how well patients with severe aortic stenosis improve after getting a new aortic valve (TAVI). It aims to find better ways to track progress using standard pressure measurements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 60 and 90 years old.
- You have severe aortic stenosis and a heart team has already decided you should get a TAVI procedure.
- You can provide written consent to participate.
- You cannot have an active infection, uncontrolled illness, active cancer, or life expectancy less than 1 month.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Your heart rhythm must be stable enough for pressure tracings to be clear.

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 study tests whether a procedure called TAVI (a valve replacement done through a tube in the leg) can help people with severe aortic stenosis who are in cardiogenic shock, a dangerous condition where the heart can't pump enough blood. The goal is to see if urgent valve replacement improves survival.
This trial compares two methods (ultrasound vs X-ray) to guide a minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure for people with severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to see if using ultrasound alone is as safe and effective as using X-ray.
This study looks at how well doctors can predict outcomes for people with severe aortic stenosis who are getting a TAVI. It helps doctors understand what might happen after the procedure.
This trial looks at whether a simple exercise test (called CPET) can help predict how much your heart function will improve after TAVI, a procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve. If you're scheduled for TAVI through your leg artery and are 18 or older, you might be able to join.
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.
