NCT ID NCT06869954

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study compares two surgical techniques to repair a common heart valve defect called bicuspid aortic valve, which can cause blood to leak backward. About 100 patients with severe leakage will be randomly assigned to receive either an internal device or an external ring to stabilize the valve. The goal is to see which method better restores normal blood flow and reduces leakage over one year.
