New heart device under study for aortic valve and aorta repair
NCT ID NCT07619872
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will follow up to 250 adults who receive the KONECT RESILIA device, which replaces both the aortic valve and the ascending aorta in one surgery. The goal is to see how safe and effective the device is in real-world use. Participants must have a diseased aortic valve and damaged aorta, and will be monitored for complications like death or need for another procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- KONECT RESILIA aortic valved conduit (a device that replaces the aortic valve and part of the aorta)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the KONECT RESILIA device is a safe and effective option for people needing combined aortic valve and aorta replacement.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. Risks include typical surgical complications like infection, bleeding, or device-related issues.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. 18 years or older at the time of informed consent 2. Have a diseased native or prosthetic aortic valve and a damaged or diseased ascending aorta that requires aortic valved conduit replacement surgery with the KONECT RESILIA AVC 3. Provide written informed consent 4. Willing to follow protocol requirements Exclusion Criteria: 1. Active endocarditis or endocarditis within 3 months prior to the study index procedure 2. Emergency procedure 3. Stage 4 renal disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] \<30 excluded) or requiring dialysis 4. Less than 2-year life expectancy due to non-cardiovascular life-threatening disease in the opinion of the study investigator 5.
