Summary

This trial aims to compare 2 types of mitral valve replacement, SEV & BEV, to see which is better in terms of blood flow & exercise capacity, using CMR for a more precise assessment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with aortic valve stenosis who need a valve replacement and can undergo the procedure through their leg artery. They must be able to consent, have no severe heart issues like reduced heart function or untreated coronary disease, no history of valve replacements, and no implants that are unsafe for MRI.
What is being tested?
The study tests if self-expanding valves (Medtronic Evolut FX) provide better blood flow and exercise capacity compared to balloon-expanding valves (Edwards Sapien 3 Ultra), using stress cardiac MRI to measure differences in heart performance.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from the MRI process, risks associated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement such as bleeding or vascular complications, and possible allergic reactions to materials used.
