Why the study?
Does Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) improve long-term perceived health status and clinical outcomes in patients?
Does Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) improve long-term perceived health status and clinical outcomes in patients?
TAVI is associated with sustained improvements in patient-perceived health status and low rates of clinical events beyond 5 years.
Supports durable health status gains post-TAVI in real-world cohorts; leaves open need for randomized long-term confirmation.
The majority of the patients described an improvement of health status after TAVI. More than five years after TAVI, the patients' perceived health status was satisfactory, and the incidence of clinical events and hospitalizations was very low.
