New TAVI technique may skip balloon step, improving safety
NCT ID NCT02729519
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether implanting a new aortic valve (TAVI) without first using a balloon to open the narrowed valve is safer and as effective as the standard procedure with balloon predilatation. 250 adults with severe aortic stenosis who were at high risk for open-heart surgery took part. The goal was to see if skipping the balloon step reduces complications while still achieving a successful valve implant.
