New study tests if online tools can cut heart valve surgery wait times
NCT ID NCT05237804
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a program to help people with severe aortic stenosis get a TAVI heart valve procedure faster. The program included a website and booklet for patients, plus better coordination among hospital teams. Researchers measured whether more patients could be treated within 2 months of their first visit.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Patient education materials (video, booklet, website) and hospital process changes
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show a simple way to get heart valve patients treated faster, potentially saving lives.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed study testing a process, not a new drug or device. The results may not apply to all hospitals or countries.
