This study compares two ways to replace a narrowed heart valve in people with severe aortic stenosis who are at intermediate risk for surgery. About 1,700 participants were randomly assigned to get either a less invasive catheter-based valve (TAVI) or traditional open-heart surge…

This study tests a less invasive procedure called TAVR against traditional open-heart surgery for people with severe aortic stenosis who are at low risk for surgery. About 2,200 participants will be followed for two years to see if TAVR is as safe and effective as surgery in prev…

This study tests a new heart valve device (CoreValve Evolut PRO) in 52 Chinese patients with severe aortic stenosis who are too high-risk for open-heart surgery. The valve is inserted through a tube in the artery, avoiding major surgery. Researchers are checking how many patients…

This study tests a new device called the Intrepid Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement System in 128 people with severe mitral regurgitation who are too high-risk for open-heart surgery. The valve is delivered through a catheter via a vein in the leg, avoiding a large incision.…
