NCT ID NCT07677410

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests two blood-thinning strategies in people with severe aortic regurgitation who have had a new heart valve placed without open surgery. Participants receive either daily aspirin for a year or warfarin for six months followed by aspirin. The goal is to see which approach better prevents serious events like stroke, blood clots, and major bleeding.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Aspirin and Warfarin

What this could lead to

If aspirin proves superior, it could simplify post-procedure care and reduce bleeding risks for patients with severe aortic regurgitation after valve replacement.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial; results may not apply to all patients, and warfarin carries bleeding risks while aspirin may not prevent clots as effectively.
