New study tests best TAVI valve for small heart valves
NCT ID NCT03520101
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of TAVI valves (Edwards and CoreValve Evolut) in 102 people with small, failing surgical aortic valves. The goal is to see which valve leads to fewer problems like high pressure or leakage after the procedure. Results could guide doctors in choosing the best valve for these patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with either an Edwards or CoreValve Evolut device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose the best TAVI valve for patients with small surgical valves, potentially reducing the risk of high pressure or leakage after the procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 102 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure itself carries risks like bleeding, stroke, or valve problems.
