New device aims to improve safety in heart valve replacement
NCT ID NCT07205341
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study is testing a new device called HemoCept that measures blood volume and heart efficiency during trans-aortic valve replacement (TAVR) surgery for aortic stenosis. The study will enroll 20 adults aged 18-80 who need TAVR. Researchers want to see if the device's readings match standard heart measurements taken before and after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HemoCept device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new way to monitor blood volume and heart function during TAVR surgery, potentially improving patient safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 20 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is still experimental and may not work as hoped.
