Heart valve breakdown? new study tests if early fix beats watching and waiting
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study compares two approaches for people aged 65+ with moderate aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve). One group gets a less invasive valve replacement (TAVR), the other gets regular monitoring. The goal is to see if early treatment reduces death and heart failure. The st…

New heart valve offers hope for patients with rare birth defects
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study is testing a new heart valve (SAPIEN 3) for people born with heart defects who have a failing valve in the pulmonary position. The valve is placed using a thin tube through a blood vessel, avoiding open-heart surgery. About 108 participants will be followed to see if t…

New study to monitor heart valve performance in real patients
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study is collecting information from 500 people who need a new aortic valve to see how the INSPIRIS RESILIA valve performs in real life. Researchers will measure blood flow through the valve and check for leaks using heart ultrasounds over time. The goal is to understand how…

Finger cuffs may spot dangerous blood pressure drops better than arm cuffs during surgery
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at whether using a continuous finger cuff (VitaWave) to monitor blood pressure during outpatient surgery can detect low blood pressure (hypotension) better than the standard arm cuff that measures blood pressure every few minutes. About 188 adults having elective…
