Comparing two replacement heart valve devices for aortic stenosis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two different types of replacement heart valves (balloon-expandable vs. self-expanding) to see which works better for people with severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to find the best option for each patient.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the heart's main valve)
- Your doctor has confirmed that both valve types are suitable for your heart anatomy
- You are able to attend all follow-up visits after the procedure
- You have not had previous heart valve surgery that used a different replacement valve
- You are not in an emergency situation needing urgent valve replacement

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 the Myval THV (a new heart valve) is safe and effective for adults who need TAVI, a procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve without open-heart surgery. You may be considered if a heart team says you’re a good candidate for this valve procedure and you’re willing to join the study.
This trial compares two different types of replacement heart valves for people whose previous surgical aortic valve has failed. Both valves are placed using a less invasive method (through a leg artery), and the study aims to see which option works better for this 'valve-in-valve' procedure.
This trial compares two types of replacement heart valves (balloon-expandable and self-expanding) for people whose prior surgical aortic valve is no longer working. It looks at which valve type offers better outcomes when placed through a catheter in the leg.
