Aortic valve disease 1

This study looks at how safe and effective a less invasive heart valve replacement (called Sapien 3 TAVR) is for younger patients (ages 50-70) in China with severe aortic stenosis. Researchers will track 450 participants for up to 5 years to see survival rates and complications. …

This study compares two approaches for people aged 65+ with moderate aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve): either getting a new valve placed through a thin tube (TAVR) or just having regular check-ups. The goal is to see if early treatment prevents death or heart failure bett…

This clinical trial is testing two different surgical methods to repair a bicuspid aortic valve, a common heart defect where the valve has two flaps instead of three. The study will enroll 100 people with this condition who also have a leaky valve (aortic regurgitation). Half wil…

This study follows 232 people with a bicuspid aortic valve (a heart valve with two flaps instead of three) over 10 years. Researchers want to learn how the condition naturally progresses and what factors lead to serious problems like valve disease or bulging of the aorta. Partici…

This study is creating a large biobank of blood, DNA, plasma, and tissue samples from 15,000 people with and without heart and aortic diseases. Researchers will use this information to better understand conditions like aortic aneurysm, heart failure, and bicuspid aortic valve. Th…

This study aims to find the genetic causes of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), a common heart defect where the valve has two flaps instead of three. Researchers will collect blood samples from 700 people with BAV and their family members to compare DNA. The goal is to identify gene c…

This study will follow 60 adults with a bicuspid aortic valve (a heart valve with two flaps instead of three) for five years. Each year, participants will get a special 4D CT scan to take detailed measurements of the valve's shape and movement. The goal is to learn more about how…
