U.S., May 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07565077) titled 'Impact of TAVI on the Gut Microbiota and Its Metabolites' on April 27.
Brief Summary: Aortic stenosis is a common heart valve disease in older adults. It occurs when the aortic valve becomes narrowed, making it harder for blood to flow from the heart to the rest of the body. Without treatment, this condition can lead to serious complications and reduced survival. A widely used treatment is transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a minimally invasive procedure that replaces the diseased valve and improves blood flow.
