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 trial compares two methods (ultrasound vs X-ray) to guide a minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure for people with severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to see if using ultrasound alone is as safe and effective as using X-ray.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure called TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) to replace a narrowed aortic valve without requiring open-heart surgery. The study is checking whether TAVI can be safely performed at hospitals that don't have cardiac surgery units on-site.
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 checks whether an “investigational” transcatheter aortic valve is safe and works well for people with severe, calcified aortic stenosis (a stiff, narrowed heart valve). It may help improve valve function and symptoms, but you must meet specific heart, scan, and health-status requirements.
This study records results of a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed or leaking heart valve. It may help doctors understand how well the treatment works and what complications happen in Chinese patients.
This trial compares different methods to evaluate coronary artery disease in patients planning to have a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to find out if a less invasive approach is as safe and effective as the standard one.
