Aortic stenosis treatment with ultrasound waves
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is gathering information from people with a narrowed aortic heart valve who are not having valve replacement surgery soon. It tests a device that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to gently treat the valve, and researchers want to see how well it works in real life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a narrowed aortic heart valve (aortic stenosis).
- You are not planning to have valve replacement surgery (TAVR or SAVR) soon, either because your doctors advised against it or you chose not to.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and attend follow-up visits.
- You have not had your aortic valve replaced before.
- You do not have a chest shape or skin condition that would prevent a device from sitting on your chest.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new version of a heart valve (SAPIEN X4) placed without open-heart surgery. It's for people with severe aortic stenosis who have symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain.
This trial studies a less invasive heart valve procedure that places a new valve through a catheter, to treat severe leakage of the aortic valve. It may help people who have symptoms or heart enlargement and who are at higher risk for 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 study develops and tests a new way to diagnose severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) by measuring calcium buildup on the valve using heart ultrasound. If you're already getting both an ultrasound and a CT scan of your heart, this study compares how well the ultrasound method can identify severe stenosis.
This study tests whether a computer program helps doctors place a new heart valve more accurately during a minimally invasive procedure for severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to make the valve placement safer and more effective for patients like you.
This trial is testing a new, less invasive way to replace a narrowed aortic valve using a special device. The goal is to help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath.
