How Heart Valve Replacement Affects Kidney Function
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a minimally invasive heart valve procedure (TAVI) affects how well your kidneys work. Researchers will track your kidney function before and after the procedure using blood tests to understand any changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older with a life expectancy of at least 1 year
- Your doctor's heart team has decided you are a good candidate for percutaneous aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
- You had at least one imaging test using contrast dye in the past 2 months (other than the TAVI procedure itself)
- You can have kidney function blood tests taken right after your TAVI procedure and at least 3 more times within 5 days
- Your kidneys are not severely damaged (eGFR must be 30 or higher)
- You are not currently on dialysis or scheduled to start dialysis

This study looks at how the placement of a new aortic valve (TAVR) affects blood flow through the valve and into the heart arteries. It may help doctors understand best practices for people who already had a TAVR procedure.
This study tests a new replacement valve for the aortic heart valve, delivered through a catheter (a thin tube) — a procedure called TAVR. It is for people who have severe aortic stenosis and are not good candidates for open-heart surgery.
This trial studies whether a new through-the-blood-vessel heart valve (TAVR) is safe and works well for people with severe aortic stenosis who are too risky for traditional surgery. If you qualify, you would be closely followed to check your symptoms and valve function over time.
This trial studies how safe and effective the NAVITOR valve is for treating narrowed aortic valves placed through a catheter (no open-heart surgery). It may be an option if you’re at intermediate-to-low surgical risk and meet heart ultrasound/CT measurements.
This study looks at how replacing a narrowed heart valve affects fluid in the lungs. It may help doctors better understand recovery after this procedure.
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.
