Research and Clinical Trials
Through our clinical trial capabilities, we provide our patients access to the most advanced treatments.
WE ARE CURRENTLY PARTICIPATING IN MORE THAN 115 HEART AND VASCULAR CLINICAL TRIALS
Here are just a few:
Medtronic CoreValve System: trial evaluating a minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery for extreme risk and high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. Going in through the groin, the shoulder or directly between the ribs, doctors can insert a bioprosthetic valve through a catheter without removing the native valve.
Cardiox is a trial to evaluate the ability of a medical device to detect a structural heart defect known as patent formen ovale, as indicated by blood crossing from the right side of the heart to the left side.
CONTACT AFL trial being conducted to determine the safety and effectiveness of an investigational cardiac ablation system in conjunction with the EnSite, another new technology for the treatment of typical atrial flutter (a heart rhythm disturbance).
Trivascular AAA evaluates a minimally invasive stent for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. The stent has a unique ability to conform to the shape of the aorta blood vessel, providing a custom fit for each patient.
Trevo 2 is a trial to evaluate a wire mesh device that can be embedded into a blood clot for the purpose of gentle and thorough retrieval of blood clots that can cause stroke.
OhioHealth is recognized as a leader in revolutionary treatment of stroke, peripheral vascular disease and common cardiovascular conditions such as heart valve disease and coronary artery disease.
We actively support our clinicians as they explore innovations to improve patient care. Our goal is to engage in research that touches our patients’ lives in meaningful ways.
Medtronic CoreValve U.S. Clinical Trial
Watch Riverside Methodist featured in the news and see how the Medtronic CoreValve U.S. Clinical Trial procedure works.
Riverside Methodist Hospital is among a select group of leading U.S. hospitals participating in a nationwide trial that gives hope to people with a life-threatening heart condition. The Medtronic CoreValve U.S. Clinical Trial is evaluating a minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery for patients with severe aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the aortic valve that impairs function and diminishes blood flow. Going in through the groin, the shoulder or directly between the ribs, the doctors can insert a bioprosthetic valve through a catheter without removing the native valve.

Study Uses Adult Stem Cells in Effort to Save Limbs of Patient with Peripheral Arterial Disease
Grant Medical Center completed the nation's first published study of a new procedure that may give hope to millions of patients facing lower limb amputations from peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD is a painful circulatory problem in the legs that affects 10 million Americans. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as amputation and death. Read more.

Investigational Procedure at Riverside Investigates Treatment of Aortic Aneurysms Without Major Surgery
Riverside Methodist Hospital is part of the international trial called Ovation (Trivascular AAA), which involves a newly designed device for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms with no general anesthesia and is complete, start to finish, in an hour. Read more.
OhioHealth serves as a site for more than 115 heart and vascular clinical studies sponsored by industry, private non-profit organizations, and government agencies and also trials initiated by our own expert clinicians.
Over seventy of these studies are currently enrolling new patients. For more information about heart and vascular clinical trials at OhioHealth, talk to your physician. If you are seeking a physician, find a physician using our Find a Doctor feature.
Investigators and sponsors who wish to launch new clinical trials at OhioHealth are encouraged to contact the OhioHealth Research and Innovation Institute.
Clinical trials at OhioHealth involve investigational drugs, devices and other products that are currently being tested in the US. Our research activities meet the highest standards of quality and safety. For more information, please visit our Research Compliance page.
