CT scans could help pick the perfect heart valve size
NCT ID NCT05799573
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether CT scans can help doctors choose the right size for the Perceval sutureless heart valve. The valve is used to replace a leaky aortic valve. Researchers studied 50 patients to see if CT-based sizing leads to good early results after surgery, like proper valve function and fewer complications.
