A new heart valve without Open-Heart surgery: can it help High-Risk patients?
NCT ID NCT07734025
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing a new device called the Crea Aortic Valve, a replacement heart valve that can be implanted through a catheter without open-heart surgery. It is designed for people aged 60 and older with severe aortic stenosis—a narrowing of the heart's main valve—who are considered too high-risk for traditional surgery. The study will measure how safely and effectively the valve works, and whether it improves patients' symptoms and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an investigational transcatheter aortic valve replacement system called the Crea Aortic Valve
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new, less invasive option for replacing a narrowed aortic heart valve in patients who are too frail for open-heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. As with any heart valve procedure, risks include stroke, bleeding, and valve dysfunction.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 60 years or older. * Symptomatic severe native calcific aortic valve stenosis. * Considered appropriate for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) by the local Heart Team. * Considered at high surgical risk for surgical aortic valve replacement. * Able to understand the study requirements and provide written informed consent. * Willing and able to comply with all study procedures and follow-up visits. Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindication to transcatheter aortic valve replacement or the investigational procedure. * Active infection or endocarditis. * Life expectancy less than one year due to non-cardiac comorbidities. * Participation in another investigational study that could interfere with the objectives of this study. * Any medical, anatomical, or clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator or Heart Team, would make study participation inappropriate or place the subject at unacceptable risk.
