What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

Summary

Structural heart disease covers heart defects other than blocked arteries, such as faulty valves. Doctors at Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong are building a registry of 1,000 patients who undergo transcatheter structural heart procedures, which are done through blood vessels rather than open-chest surgery. The registry records procedural success, safety events like stroke and vascular complications, and later outcomes such as heart function and symptoms. Researchers plan to compare these results with patients who received medical therapy or open-heart surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
structural heart interventions, including transcatheter valve repair and replacement procedures
What this could lead to
If the registry succeeds, it could give doctors in Hong Kong and nearby regions clearer data on how transcatheter heart procedures perform outside Japan, where such data are scarce.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a randomized trial, so it can show patterns but cannot prove that one treatment causes better results than another. Findings may not apply to other hospitals or patient groups.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

There is approximately 250 cases of structural heart intervention cases performed in 2023. The numbers are stable in the past 3 years. The dropout rate around 1-2% as reflected from other registry studies. Therefore, there would be around 1000 cases to be recruited during our 4 year recruitment period.
