New heart valve device shows early promise in small study
NCT ID NCT06510855
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early study is testing a new device called the DurAVR™ THV System, which is a replacement heart valve placed through a small tube in the leg (TAVI procedure). The study includes 40 people with severe aortic stenosis or a failed surgical valve. The main goal is to see if the device is safe and feasible, looking at rates of death or disabling stroke at 30 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DurAVR™ THV System (a replacement heart valve implanted via a catheter)
- What this could lead to
- If this device works well, it could offer a new, less invasive option for people with severe aortic stenosis who need a valve replacement.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study (40 people) focused on safety and feasibility. The device may not work as well as existing valves, and there are risks like bleeding, stroke, or death.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Symptomatic, severe native aortic stenosis or severe degeneration of surgically implanted aortic bioprosthetic valve in subjects 18 years or older. 2. Requires aortic valve replacement and is indicated for TAVR as determined by the Heart Team 3. Eligible for transfemoral delivery of the DurAVR™ THV 4. Anatomy appropriate to accommodate safe placement of DurAVR™ THV 5. Understands the study requirements and the treatment procedures and provides written informed consent 6. Subject agrees to complete all required scheduled follow-up visits. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Anatomy precluding safe placement of DurAVR™ THV 2. Pre-existing prosthetic mitral or tricuspid valve 3. Unicuspid, bicuspid or non-calcified aortic valve 4. Severe mitral or severe tricuspid regurgitation requiring intervention 5. Moderate to severe mitral stenosis 6. Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy 7. Echocardiographic evidence of intracardiac mass, thrombus or vegetation requiring treatment 8. Evidence of an acute myocardial infarction ≤ 30 days before the intended treatment 9. Any percutaneous coronary or peripheral interventional procedure performed within 30 days prior to the index procedure 10. Recent (within 6 months) cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) 11. End-stage renal disease requiring chronic dialysis or creatinine clearance \< 20 cc/min 12. GI bleeding within the past 3 months 13. Ongoing sepsis (including active endocarditis) or endocarditis in the last 3 months 14. Life expectancy \< 12 months due to associated non-cardiac co-morbid conditions
