Heart valve study tests safer bleeding control after TAVI
NCT ID NCT05774691
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving a drug called protamine to all patients after a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI) reduces bleeding complications compared to giving it only when needed. The trial involved 1000 adults with aortic valve stenosis. The goal was to see if routine protamine use lowers the risk of death or serious bleeding within 30 days after the procedure.
