New registry explores backup routes for heart valve procedure
NCT ID NCT07539909
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study observes 600 people with aortic stenosis who cannot have a standard TAVI procedure through the leg artery. Instead, doctors will use other access points, like the chest or neck, to replace the heart valve. The goal is to track safety and success rates of these alternative approaches.

Who is studied
According to the guidelines of international societies (European Society of Cardiology, European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, American College of Cardiology, and American Heart Association), trans- catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using access through the femoral artery is a preferred treatment method in patients at high- and medium-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. Due to peripheral arterial disease, unfavorable, aortoiliac anatomy, or diseases of the thoracoabdominal aorta, femoral access is unavailable for approximately 15% of all TAVI candidates. Alternative approaches in TAVI procedures can be divided into two groups: transthoracic (trans-aortic and trans-apical) and peripheral (trans-carotid, trans-axillary, trans-subclavian, trans-caval).

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Males or females qualified by the "heart team" for TAVI procedure, without the possibility of using femoral access. * Possibility of TAVI procedure with peripheral access after multi-slice computed tomography analysis. Exclusion Criteria: * No significant aortic stenosis * Cancer with a short expected survival period * No qualifications for TAVI
