Brief Summary:
The primary aim of the study is to identify the optimal treatment modality for patients with aortic valve disease, incorporating the individual patient's risk profile and anticipated clinical outcomes. This includes the association of demographic factors, procedural data and biomarkers with clinical outcome in a prospective fashion.
Detailed Description:
Patients with severe aortic valve disease have a poor prognosis under medical therapy, making replacement of the failing valve the preferred option. In addition to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has evolved as an alternative treatment option for patients at intermediate and high operative risk. Before expansion of TAVI to low-risk and younger patients can be recommended, several questions remain to be investigated, e.g. optimal patient selection, periprocedural complications and long-term durability. Therefore every patient with a relevant aortic valve disease (aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation or degenerative aortic valve prosthesis) who meets the inclusion/exclusion criterias is planned to be involved in the study.
Predictors of outcome are yet to be defined in patients with aortic valve disease in order to improve risk prediction for the different treatment modalities (medical, SAVR, TAVI).
The primary aim of the study is to identify the optimal treatment modality for the individual patient, incorporating the individual patient's risk profile and anticipated clinical outcomes. This includes the association of demographic factors, procedural data and biomarkers with clinical outcome in a prospective fashion.
