Evaluating heart recovery after surgery for aortic regurgitation

Official title: Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling Outcomes Evaluation in Patients With Aortic Regurgitation After Surgical Treatment

Run by Petrovsky National Research Centre of Surgery · NCT06805253 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study looks at how heart surgery for aortic regurgitation helps people with heart problems feel better and recover by checking their heart function and quality of life afterward.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years scheduled for elective surgery due to chronic aortic regurgitation with functional mitral regurgitation.

Probably not a fit

Patients with acute aortic regurgitation, infectious endocarditis, or those requiring simultaneous myocardial revascularization may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the effects of surgical correction for chronic aortic regurgitation on the reverse remodeling of the left ventricle in patients with functional mitral regurgitation. It aims to monitor changes in left ventricle volume and function post-surgery using echocardiography, while also assessing the quality of life in participants. The study focuses on patients with severe enlargement of the left heart chambers and evaluates how surgical intervention influences recovery outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved recovery strategies for patients undergoing surgery for aortic regurgitation, enhancing heart function and quality of life.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is observational, similar studies have shown promising results in understanding heart recovery post-surgery, suggesting potential for beneficial insights.
