New heart valve tested in japanese patients: a step forward for aortic stenosis treatment?
NCT ID NCT07193888
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing the Navitor heart valve, a device used to replace a narrowed aortic valve without open-heart surgery. It will include 100 people in Japan with severe aortic stenosis. Researchers will check how many patients die within 30 days and whether the valve leaks 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
- Navitor Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that the Navitor valve works well and safely in everyday practice, supporting its use for treating severe aortic stenosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-market study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Risks include death within 30 days or valve leakage.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is eligible per the current approved indication after Heart Team discussion and intended to undergo a Navitor TAVI procedure. 2. The patient has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions, and has provided written informed consent as approved by the EC of the respective clinical site. 3. The patient and the treating physician agree that the subject will return for all required post-procedure follow-up visits Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is not eligible for the Navitor TAVI System per the current Instructions for Use (IFU). 2. Life expectancy \< 12 months from the time of informed consent due to non-cardiac co-morbid conditions. 3. In the judgment of the Investigator, patient presents with a medical, social, or psychological condition that could limit the ability or willingness to participate in the study, comply with study required testing and/or follow-up visits or that could impact scientific integrity of the study. 4. Known contraindication for computed tomography (CT) or sensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately premedicated. 5. Inability to tolerate antiplatelet/anticoagulation therapy or nitinol alloy (nickel and titanium), which cannot be adequately premedicated. 6. Currently participating in an investigational drug or device study that may confound the results of this study. 7. Anatomy that makes insertion and endovascular access to the aortic valve difficult and/or impossible.
