Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 65 who need surgical replacement of their aortic valve.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients indicated for mechanical prosthetic valve replacement or those requiring intervention on other heart valves may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the long-term outcomes of two advanced bioprosthetic aortic valves, Dafodil® and INSPIRIS Resilia®, in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement. It is a prospective, randomized trial enrolling 200 patients who will be assigned to receive one of the two prostheses. The study aims to gather data on valve durability, safety, and hemodynamic performance, particularly focusing on younger patients who may need multiple interventions throughout their lives. Conducted at a leading cardiology hospital in Brazil, the trial emphasizes a thorough screening and informed consent process to ensure participant understanding and safety.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved outcomes and longevity of bioprosthetic aortic valves for patients requiring valve replacement.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with advanced bioprosthetic valves, suggesting potential for success in this approach.

Aspirin by itself after TAVR for pure aortic regurgitation
In people with severe aortic regurgitation who have had TAVR and do not need long-term anticoagulation, this study tests whether aspirin alone for a year is safer and as effective as a short course of warfarin followed by aspirin.
-
AI tool to detect and measure aortic regurgitation
This project will test an AI-assisted echocardiography tool to detect and measure aortic regurgitation in adults and compare its results with standard manual measurements.
-
TAVR vs SAVR for severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis
This trial tests whether TAVR or SAVR works better for people with severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis.
-
Finger photoacoustic arterial waveform monitoring for aortic valve disease and healthy adults
This project will test whether a finger-based photoacoustic device can capture arterial pulse waveforms and help identify aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, or normal heart function in adults.
-
Losartan after aortic valve replacement to help the heart recover
This trial will try if taking losartan after aortic valve replacement helps the heart shrink back to a healthier size and improve recovery in adults who had severe aortic regurgitation.
-
ARTEMIS: JenaValve Trilogy data collection for severe aortic regurgitation
This project will try the JenaValve Trilogy transcatheter heart valve in adults with severe native aortic regurgitation who are high or prohibitive risk for open-heart surgery.
