NCT ID NCT06818006

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a common heart valve replacement procedure (TAVI) is safe when done in hospitals that do not have heart surgery available on-site. Currently, the standard is to have surgery backup available. The trial will enroll 600 people with severe aortic stenosis and compare outcomes between centers with and without on-site surgery. The goal is to see if experienced centers can safely offer this procedure without a surgery team present.
