NCT ID NCT07251660

First seen Dec 08, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study compares two ways to repair or replace heart valves: a newer, less invasive method using a small cut on the right side of the chest versus the traditional method of cutting through the breastbone. Researchers will measure how quickly patients recover, including time on a breathing machine, pain levels, and wound healing. The goal is to see if the less invasive approach leads to a smoother recovery for people in Pakistan.
