Heart valve replacement study skips a step, aims for fewer complications
NCT ID NCT02729519
Summary
This study compared two ways to implant a replacement aortic valve in people with a dangerously narrowed valve who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. Researchers tested if implanting the new valve directly was as successful and safe as the standard method, which first uses a balloon to stretch the old valve. The goal was to see if skipping the balloon step could reduce complications like stroke or bleeding.
