Dilation Optimisation for Uniform Bioprosthetic Leaflet Expansion (ACE-DOUBLE) 250

Not yet recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07430267 (ACE-DOUBLE) is an interventional study for Aortic Stenosis, TAVI(Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) and is currently not yet recruiting. Enrollment is planned to begin on 1 April 2026 and continue until the study accrues 250 participants. Led by The Alfred, this study is expected to complete by 1 April 2029. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 24 February 2026.
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to discover if routine 'double tap' balloon post-dilation improves valve expansion and clinical outcomes in adults undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) with the SAPIEN balloon-expandable TAVI prosthesis.

The primary hypothesis is that routine 'double tap' balloon post-dilation improves TAVI valve expansion. The secondary hypothesis is that routine 'double tap' ...

Detailed Description
The ACE-DOUBLE trial will be a multicentre, registry nested, block randomized, open label clinical trial comparing routine versus discretionary balloon post-dilation strategies following TAVI using the SAPIEN 3 balloon-expandable THV for severe aortic stenosis (AS).

Patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve disease that are accepted for TAVI using a balloon-expandable THV. Currently, the only balloon-expandable ...

No InterventionRoutine deployment
Participants in the routine deployment arm will have no further post-dilation after satisfactory initial deployment of the balloon-expandable THV

ExperimentalRoutine double tap
Participants in the double tap arm will undergo a second inflation of the delivery system balloon at the same filll volume after satisfactory initial deployment of the balloon-expandable THV
'Double tap' balloon post-dilation
Routine second inflation of the valve delivery balloon ('double-tap') BPD following balloon-expandable valve TAVI
