Aortic Valve Replacement Without On-Site Surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a catheter-based procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve without traditional open-heart surgery. It's designed for patients who are at higher risk for surgery due to age, health conditions, or anatomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed aortic valve) confirmed by your heart team
- Your heart team agrees you're a good candidate for TAVI (catheter-based valve replacement)
- You have at least one reason making surgery riskier (such as advanced age, frailty, lung disease, or heart problems)
- Your groin blood vessels are suitable for the catheter procedure
- You're able and willing to attend follow-up visits for at least 1 year
- You do not have another serious illness expected to limit your life to less than 1 year

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at placing a new aortic valve through the groin (transfemoral) without needing on-site heart surgery for people who are considered very high risk for standard open-heart valve surgery. It aims to measure early outcomes to see how safe and effective this approach is for frail or complex patients.
This study tests whether a less invasive valve replacement (TAVI) can be done safely in hospitals that don't have a full heart surgery team on site. If you have severe aortic stenosis and are 70 or older, this trial might offer a new option with a shorter recovery than open-heart surgery.
This study tests whether TAVI (a procedure to replace your heart valve without open-heart surgery) can be done safely at centers that do not have on-site heart surgery backup. It looks at how well patients do after the procedure, focusing on safety and recovery.
This study tests different ways to do a TAVI procedure (a treatment to replace a narrowed heart valve) when doctors cannot use the usual route through the groin. It looks at using alternative blood vessels in the body to reach the heart.
This trial tests if surgery to replace your aortic valve is safe and effective for people with severe aortic stenosis who are at low risk for complications. It compares surgery to another procedure to see which works best.
This trial tests a new type of aortic valve replacement that can be inserted without open-heart surgery. It's designed for people with severe aortic stenosis who are not suitable for a standard operation.
