CT or surgery: which measures heart valves best?
NCT ID NCT07125469
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at 82 people with severe aortic stenosis who need open-heart surgery to replace their aortic valve. Before surgery, each person gets a CT scan to measure the valve. During surgery, doctors also measure the valve with special tools. The goal is to see which method gives a more accurate size for the replacement valve, helping surgeons pick the best fit.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help surgeons choose the right valve size more accurately, potentially reducing complications in aortic valve replacement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study (82 people) that does not test a new treatment, so it may not change practice directly. Differences in measurement methods could still lead to uncertainty.
