Pulmonary valve disorder

This study tests a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program delivered through a custom app for people who have had a heart valve procedure. Participants who choose not to attend center-based rehab are randomly assigned to usual care, the app with self-guided content, or the app …

This study tests a special heart valve that can be adjusted to fit children as they grow. It involves 36 kids aged 1.5 to 16 years with congenital heart disease who need a new pulmonary valve. The valve is placed during surgery and can later be expanded without another operation.

This study is testing a new heart valve (SAPIEN 3) in 108 people who have a dysfunctional right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) due to a congenital heart defect or a previous valve replacement. The goal is to see if the valve is safe and effective at improving blood flow and reduc…

This study is tracking 80 people with severe pulmonary valve regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) who receive the Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve. The valve is placed through a catheter, avoiding open-heart surgery. Researchers will check if the valve works well and stays in…

This study compares aspirin to the blood thinner warfarin in 1058 people who just had a bioprosthetic heart valve replacement. For 6 months after surgery, participants take either daily aspirin or warfarin. The goal is to see if aspirin is just as safe and effective at preventing…

This trial tests a special cannula that captures debris during high-risk heart valve surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces the chance of stroke, kidney injury, and delirium. About 842 patients aged 60 and older will be randomly assigned to receive either the new device or a s…

This study is for babies, infants, and small children who have narrowed arteries in or near the heart. Doctors will use a special tiny stent to open the blockage and improve blood flow. The goal is to see how well the stent works and to track any side effects in everyday medical …

This study tests a new type of heart valve made from a patient's own tissue to treat a leaky pulmonary valve. Seven adults will receive the valve to see if it is safe and works well in the short term. The valve is designed to grow with the patient, potentially reducing the need f…

This study compares two surgical timings for babies born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a serious heart defect. One group gets corrective surgery within 28 days of birth, the other at the usual 3-6 months. Researchers will track deaths, reoperations, and recovery to see if earlier sur…

This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can screen for heart valve disease using standard chest CT scans that people already get for other reasons. The goal is to see how well the AI catches moderate-to-severe cases without needing extra tests or contrast dye.…

This study tests whether a portable electronic stethoscope, combined with machine learning, can accurately detect valvular heart disease. About 125 people with and without the condition will use the device and also receive standard heart tests. Researchers will compare the device…

This study is testing whether having a dental checkup before heart valve surgery can prevent serious complications like infection of the heart lining, repeat surgery, or death. About 1,300 adults scheduled for valve surgery will be randomly assigned to either get a dental screeni…

This study is reviewing medical records from 5,000 heart and blood vessel surgery patients to find factors that influence recovery and survival. Researchers are looking at data from 2001 to 2013 to identify what leads to complications or death after surgery. The goal is to improv…

This registry will follow 2,500 people who receive Abbott heart devices, such as implants for holes in the heart or replacement heart valves. The goal is to check how safe and effective these devices are when used in everyday hospital practice. Data will be collected from standar…

This study at Mayo Clinic looks at how changes in the blood vessels of the lungs affect people with heart valve disease. Researchers will use echocardiograms during routine heart catheterization to measure these changes in 600 adults scheduled for valve procedures. The goal is to…

This study tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help cardiologists read echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) more quickly and consistently. Researchers will give AI analysis to doctors in real time as they review heart images from 50 participants with valve disease. The …

This study is a registry that will follow up to 2,700 people who have received or will receive a Medtronic heart valve product during surgery. The goal is to monitor the long-term safety and performance of these devices by identifying any unexpected problems or trends. Participan…

This study follows 200 adults who have had or will have a procedure to fix a leaky or narrowed valve in the right side of the heart. Researchers track survival, unplanned hospital stays, and heart function using blood tests and ultrasound. The goal is to learn which treatments wo…

This study looks at whether a special heart ultrasound measurement, called global longitudinal strain (GLS), can predict if a person will have trouble coming off the heart-lung machine during heart surgery. About 213 adults having planned heart surgery will have their hearts meas…

This study is following 10,000 adults with heart valve disease to see how their condition changes over time. Researchers will use scans, blood tests, and health records to track progression and the effects of treatments like surgery or medication. The goal is to better predict ou…

This registry will track 800 adults with valvular heart disease to see if women and men receive different diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care. Researchers will compare how quickly each group gets guideline-recommended therapies and whether gender, age, or ethnicity affect ou…

This study looks at whether common blood tests for heart damage (troponin and CK-MB) match what an MRI shows after heart valve surgery. Researchers will enroll 100 adults having aortic or mitral valve surgery. The goal is to improve how heart attacks are diagnosed after surgery, …

This study involves 70 adults with severe heart valve disease who are already scheduled for a routine heart catheterization. Researchers will use special catheters to measure how well the right side of the heart works with the lungs. The goal is to see if simpler, non-invasive te…

This study is following 4,000 people with heart valve disease to look for new substances in the body (called metabolites) that might be linked to the disease. Researchers hope to find better ways to predict who will get worse and understand why. No new treatments are being tested…
