Heart valve study checks skin germs to prevent infections
NCT ID NCT04909424
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at the bacteria living on the skin of 100 patients scheduled for a heart valve replacement procedure called TAVI. The goal was to find out which bacteria are most common in the groin area, where the doctor inserts the new valve. This information can help doctors choose the best antibiotics to prevent infections during the procedure.
