What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests a new device called CHORDS that catches loose debris during a heart valve replacement procedure (TAVR). The debris can travel to the brain and cause a stroke. The trial will compare CHORDS to an existing device in 240 people with severe aortic stenosis. Participants will be followed for 90 days to see if the new device reduces brain injury and other complications.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or non-pregnant female, ≥18 years * Patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who are scheduled to undergo TAVR with commercialized transcatheter aortic valve system. * Compatible left common carotid artery (6.5-10 mm) and brachiocephalic artery (9-15mm) diameters without significant stenosis (\> 70%) * Patients who are able to understand the study objectives, voluntarily participate, sign the informed consent form, and are willing to undergo required examinations and clinical follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: General * Contraindications to MRI, or planned implantation of an MRI-incompatible device at the index procedure, or planned implantation of an MRI-incompatible pacemaker or defibrillator within 30 days post-procedure. * Acute myocardial infarction ≤ 30 days before the intended treatment * Pure aortic regurgitation * Pre-existing prosthetic aortic valve * Echocardiographic evidence of intracardiac or aortic mass, thrombus, or vegetation * Contraindication to antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy, nitinol , or contrast media, or refusal to receive blood transfusions * Vulnerable populations, including those unable to adequately understand the trial, those potentially subject to undue influence or coercion, those unable to complete the informed consent process, and those with severe disabling dementia or cognitive impairment Anatomic * Vasculature (ie, right radial/brachial artery, carotid artery) precluding the device access * Patients whose brachiocephalic or left carotid artery reveals significant stenosis(\>70%), ectasia, dissection, or aneurysm at the ostium or within 3 cm of the ostium
