Choosing the right replacement heart valve size for TAVI patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is trying to find the best size of replacement heart valve for people with severe aortic stenosis who are having a TAVI procedure. It compares different valve sizes to see which one works better for your specific heart dimensions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe aortic stenosis (a narrowing of your heart's main valve) and your heart team has decided you will have a TAVI procedure.
- Your CT scan shows that the size of your heart valve opening falls into one of these ranges: 55.5–57.5 mm, 61.0–64.5 mm, 70.5–74.0 mm, 79.5–84.0 mm, or 92.0–96.0 mm.
- You are able to give written informed consent to participate.

This study looks at people with severe aortic stenosis who are getting a TAVI procedure (a way to replace the heart valve without open surgery) to see if we can predict how well they will do afterwards. It may help doctors plan better care and rehab for people like you.
This study collects extra imaging data from 40 people who are already scheduled for a routine TAVI procedure to replace a narrowed aortic heart valve. The goal is to better understand the valve's structure and function using scans.
This trial compares a “smaller valve sizing” approach versus the usual sizing method during TAVR (a catheter-based valve replacement) for people with bicuspid aortic stenosis. The study aims to see which method improves safety and outcomes for the right valve fit.
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 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 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.
