NCT ID NCT05909748
First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a new device called GEMINUS, which replaces a narrowed heart valve without open-heart surgery. It involves 30 people with severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and feasible, with follow-up for up to 5 years.
