Robot arm aims to steady heart valve implants
NCT ID NCT07152574
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a tele-operated robot called TAVIPILOT that helps doctors position a new heart valve during a minimally invasive procedure called TAVR. Ten patients aged 65 and older with severe aortic stenosis will take part. The main goals are to see if the robot is safe and easy for doctors to use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TAVIPILOT tele-operated robot (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this robot could make heart valve replacement more precise and consistent, potentially improving outcomes for patients with severe aortic stenosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early feasibility study with only 10 patients. The robot may not improve results or could have technical issues. It is not yet proven safe or effective.
