NCT ID NCT02729519
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study tested whether implanting a new aortic valve without first using a balloon to stretch the old valve is better than the standard approach. 250 patients with severe aortic stenosis who were too high-risk for open-heart surgery took part. The goal was to see if skipping the balloon step leads to fewer complications and equally successful valve placement.
