NCT ID NCT07627984
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a device designed to catch and remove debris that can break loose during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve. The device uses two filters placed in arteries leading to the brain. The trial involved 260 people and measured brain lesions on MRI scans after the procedure. The goal was to see if the device reduces brain injury and improves safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cerebral embolic protection device
What this could lead to
If it works, this device could make TAVR safer by reducing the risk of brain damage from debris during the procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial with 260 participants, but the device only protects certain brain areas and may not prevent all complications. It is not a treatment for the underlying heart disease.
