Measuring valve and lung changes after minimally invasive heart valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have severe narrowing of your aortic valve (aortic stenosis) and have symptoms.
- You are scheduled to have a minimally invasive valve replacement through a blood vessel in your leg (TAVI).
- You must have had an ultrasound of your heart before the procedure.
- You must be able to have an ultrasound of your lungs done.
- You must agree to participate in writing.

This study looks at how well the new heart valve works after a TAVI procedure, using pressure measurements to see if blood flow improves. It aims to confirm that the treatment is effective for people with severe aortic stenosis.
This study compares two types of replacement heart valves used in a procedure to treat aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve). It aims to see which valve is safer by measuring tiny particles that may travel to the brain during the 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.
This study looks at how a less invasive heart valve procedure affects your day-to-day functioning and overall quality of life. If you’re already being considered for a transcatheter (catheter-based) valve replacement, you may be able to join to help understand what improvements patients experience.
This study compares two ways of guiding a procedure to replace your aortic heart valve: using ultrasound (echo) instead of the usual X-ray (fluoroscopy). The aim is to see if the ultrasound method works just as well and is safer.
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.
