New TAVI technique aims to stop silent valve clots
NCT ID NCT07042529
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special method to expand a new heart valve during TAVI can reduce harmful thickening of the valve leaflets. About 620 people with severe aortic stenosis who do not have atrial fibrillation will be randomly assigned to either the optimized expansion method or standard care. The main goal is to see if the new approach leads to less leaflet thickening on a CT scan three months after the procedure.
