Investigating the role of ATTR amyloidosis in patients with aortic stenosis
Official title: Prevalence and Significance of ATTR Aortic Valve Amyloidosis in Degenerative Aortic Stenosis
Run by University Hospital, Toulouse · NCT04636684 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see how common a specific type of amyloidosis is in patients with aortic stenosis who are having valve replacement surgery, to better understand its impact on their heart health.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old who have been diagnosed with degenerative aortic stenosis and are scheduled for aortic valve replacement surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-degenerative aortic stenosis, such as those with bicuspid valves or rheumatic disease, will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to explore the prevalence and significance of ATTR aortic valve amyloidosis in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery for degenerative aortic stenosis. It will utilize proteomic analysis to identify amyloid deposits in the aortic valve, which have previously been overlooked due to negative immunostaining results. By understanding the presence and implications of these deposits, the study seeks to clarify their clinical relevance in the context of cardiac amyloidosis. The findings could potentially reshape the understanding of degenerative aortic stenosis and its association with amyloidosis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment strategies for patients with aortic stenosis and underlying amyloidosis.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific approach of this study may be novel, previous studies have indicated a significant prevalence of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis in similar patient populations.
