Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an important therapeutic intervention for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) who are at high surgical risk. While the clinical outcomes of TAVI are well established, there is limited data on the long-term quality of life (QoL) following the procedure. This prospective study will assess QoL in patients undergoing TAVI at Derriford Hospital, University Hospitals Plymouth, UK. Investigators will employ the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) and Mini-Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Mini-MoCA) to evaluate both physical and mental health outcomes, supplemented by an analysis of life expectancy estimated by a multidisciplinary team (MDT). Data will be collected at referral, pre-procedural, 30 days, and 3 months post-TAVI. This will be the first prospective trial focused on QoL improvement after TAVI, as all previous studies have been retrospective in nature. The study aims to provide comprehensive insights into the QoL improvements after TAVI, which will guide future clinical decision-making in this population.

Study Title uality of Life Improvement after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) in the UK: A Prospective 1-Year Study (QualiTAVI-UK trial)

Study Design This is a prospective, single-center study that will be conducted over 1 year at Derriford Hospital, University Hospitals Plymouth, UK.

Study Participants The study will include all patients undergoing TAVI for severe AS during this period.

Eligibility Criteria Inclusion Criteria: Patients who were eligible and accepted for TAVI procedure regardless of the patient's age and informed consent provided by the patient for the TAVI procedure.

Exclusion Criteria: Patients who declined enrollment in this research.

Planned Sample Size More than 100 patients

Follow-up Duration 3 months

Planned Study Period 1 year

Primary Objective This study aims to address the knowledge gap regarding the impact of TAVI on Quality of Life (QoL) Secondary Objective -

TAVI

Patients who were eligible and accepted for TAVI procedure regardless of the patient's age and informed consent provided by the patient for the TAVI procedure.

Quality of Life

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Measures - We will use the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) to assess QoL, Mini-Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Mini-MoCA) to assess cognitive function, the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) to assess frailty status, and life expectancy estimation by the heart team to categorize patients as having: 1-2 years expected survival or more than 2 years expected survival (This will allow for an analysis of how life expectancy correlates with QoL improvements after TAVI).

Assessment Timeline - Patients will be assessed at four key time points: at time of referral (baseline assessment), pre-procedure (to assess impact of delay on the patient), 30 days post-TAVI (early follow-up to assess recovery and improvement in QoL), and 3 months post-TAVI (longer-term follow-up to evaluate sustained QoL changes). At each time point, the KCCQ-12, Mini-MoCA, and Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) will be administered.
