New study aims to cut unnecessary pacemakers after TAVI
NCT ID NCT05308888
First seen Jun 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether inflammation after a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI) can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems. Researchers will use a special PET scan to measure inflammation in the heart's electrical pathways. The goal is to better predict which patients truly need a pacemaker, avoiding unnecessary implants and their risks.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
18F-FDG (a radioactive tracer used in PET scans)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients truly need a pacemaker after TAVI, avoiding unnecessary implants and their complications.
What could go wrong
This is an early exploratory study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It uses imaging to observe inflammation, not to test a new treatment.
Conditions
