New study aims to ease pain during heart valve procedure
NCT ID NCT06773780
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at two different nerve-block techniques to manage pain during a minimally invasive heart valve replacement called TAVI. About 60 adults having TAVI will receive either a pericapsular nerve group block, a fascia iliaca block, or local anesthesia. The goal is to see which method reduces the need for sedation and improves pain control after the procedure.
