Less invasive heart valve procedure tested against traditional surgery

NCT ID NCT01586910

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: Medtronic Cardiovascular Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study compared two methods for treating severe aortic stenosis, a dangerous narrowing of the heart's main valve. Researchers tested a less invasive procedure called TAVI, which uses a catheter, against traditional open-heart surgery. The goal was to see which method was safer and more effective for patients at intermediate surgical risk.
