Early QoL gains and reduced depression follow TAVI; extends registry data but leaves open need for RCTs.
Structured PICO
Does transcatheter aortic valve implantation improve quality of life in patients with aortic valve stenosis?
P
Population
285 patients with aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), mean age 79.8 years, 59.4% male, mean EuroSCORE II 3.8%.
I
Intervention
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
O
Outcome
Quality of life (QoL) measured by Katz ADL, EQ-5D-5l, and PHQ-D questionnaires at 1 month and 1 year after the interventionpatient reported
