Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with severe aortic stenosis and bicuspid valve anatomy who are symptomatic.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are asymptomatic or have pure aortic regurgitation will 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 aims to assess the procedural and clinical outcomes for patients suffering from severe aortic stenosis due to bicuspid aortic valve anatomy who are undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The study will involve a comprehensive evaluation by a Heart Team to determine the appropriateness of TAVR for each patient. Data collected will help to understand the effectiveness and safety of this intervention in the specified patient population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve treatment strategies and outcomes for patients with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis.

How similar studies have gone: There have been previous studies on TAVR for aortic stenosis, but the specific focus on bicuspid aortic valves is less common, making this approach somewhat novel.
