New scan strategy could cut unnecessary heart procedures
NCT ID NCT02797158
Summary
This study tested a new approach for managing narrowed heart arteries in patients who had a TAVI procedure to replace a stiff heart valve. Researchers wanted to see if using a special heart scan to check for poor blood flow *after* the valve replacement could safely guide decisions about which patients truly need an additional artery-opening procedure. The goal was to avoid unnecessary artery procedures and their potential risks in these often elderly and frail patients.
