CT scans could help pick the perfect heart valve size
NCT ID NCT05799573
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether CT scans can help doctors choose the right size for the Perceval sutureless heart valve. The valve is used to replace a leaky aortic valve. Researchers studied 50 patients to see if CT-based sizing leads to good early results after surgery, like proper valve function and fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Perceval sutureless aortic valve
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make pre-surgery valve sizing more accurate, potentially reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on sizing, not on long-term outcomes.
