About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes of Patients Undergoing a Redo-TAVI Procedure; a Multicenter Prospective Observational Registry
Patients with severe aortic stenosis (sAS) treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) (increasingly younger \& lower risk pts) are experiencing SVD of the index THV and thus developing an indication for a redo-TAVI procedure.
The evidence on redo-TAVI (where a transcatheter heart valve [THV] is implanted into another THV) is limited, with initial data showing acceptable safety as well efficacy in highly selected and limited populations.
Aim is to evaluate short- and long-term data on patients undergoing transcatheter redo-TAVI procedures with THVs for failure of a previously implanted THV and to determine VARC-3 defined efficacy and safety at 30 days and functional outcome at 1 year, 3 years and 5 years.
Read the detailed description
Between 1.4 and 2.8% of all patients undergoing transcatheter heart valve (THV) implantation require a second THV implanted into the previously implanted THV because of clinically significant aortic regurgitation [1-3]. 90% of THV-in-THV implants were considered successful although the mortality in the redo-TAVI group was higher at similar STS risks as in those with a successful first implant.
Redo-TAVI may also be a promising treatment strategy in degenerated THVs, but there is insufficient knowledge which strategy and valve design may result in the best outcomes [4]. Evidence so far reported is based on case reports and small case series, but not on a prospective, multicenter documentation.
Currently, ~ 5% of THV are implanted in degenerated surgical bioprosthetic valves. With the expanded use of THV for treatment of lower risk patients with severe aortic stenosis (sAS), it is estimated that the number of patients requiring re-treatment for THV failure is likely to rise within the next years.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Patients with severe aortic stenosis (sAS) treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) (increasingly younger \& lower risk pts) are experiencing SVD of the index THV and thus developing an indication for a redo-TAVI procedure.
The evidence on redo-TAVI (where a transcatheter heart valve [THV] is implanted into another THV) is limited, with initial data showing acceptable safety as well efficacy in highly selected and limited populations.
Aim is to evaluate short- and long-term data on patients undergoing transcatheter redo-TAVI procedures with THVs for failure of a previously implanted THV and to determine VARC-3 defined efficacy and safety at 30 days and functional outcome at 1 year, 3 years and 5 years.
Detailed description
Between 1.4 and 2.8% of all patients undergoing transcatheter heart valve (THV) implantation require a second THV implanted into the previously implanted THV because of clinically significant aortic regurgitation [1-3]. 90% of THV-in-THV implants were considered successful although the mortality in the redo-TAVI group was higher at similar STS risks as in those with a successful first implant.
Redo-TAVI may also be a promising treatment strategy in degenerated THVs, but there is insufficient knowledge which strategy and valve design may result in the best outcomes [4]. Evidence so far reported is based on case reports and small case series, but not on a prospective, multicenter documentation.
Currently, ~ 5% of THV are implanted in degenerated surgical bioprosthetic valves. With the expanded use of THV for treatment of lower risk patients with severe aortic stenosis (sAS), it is estimated that the number of patients requiring re-treatment for THV failure is likely to rise within the next years.

Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05601453, which also lists 10 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2026.
