New balloon aims to reduce heart rhythm problems during valve replacement

NCT ID NCT06816485

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new balloon device used during a minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure (TAVI) for people with severe aortic stenosis. The main goal is to see if the balloon causes fewer heart rhythm problems, like blockages that might need a pacemaker. About 93 participants will be followed for up to 7 days after the procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
PTV Balloon (a balloon device used to open the heart valve before and after placing a new valve)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a safer way to perform TAVI, reducing the risk of heart rhythm problems that require a pacemaker.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage, small study (93 people) with very short follow-up (7 days). The device may not reduce risks as hoped, and results may not apply to all patients.
