Should you fix a leaky heart valve early? new study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT05438862
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether early surgery to repair or replace the aortic valve is better than waiting until symptoms appear in people with severe aortic regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). About 217 adults with no symptoms but severe valve leakage will be randomly assigned to either early surgery or standard watchful waiting. The goal is to see which approach better preserves heart function and prevents serious events like heart failure or stroke.
