Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of peri-procedurally continued versus interrupted oral anticoagulants in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantations;Secondary Objective: Evaluate quality of life Evaluate cost-effectiveness;Primary end point(s): A composite of cardiovascular mortality, all stroke, myocardial infarction, major vascular complications and type 2-4 bleeding complications at 30 days after TAVI as defined by the VARC-3 criteria. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days post procedure

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Procedure related primary endpoints at 30 days. - Procedure related bleeding complications (type 1–4 bleeding ) at 30 days as defined by the VARC-3 criteria. - Procedure related thromboembolic complications (all stroke (except haemorrhagic), TIA, myocardial infarction, systemic embolism (vascular complications: distal embolization (non-cerebral) from a vascular source)) at 30 days as defined by the VARC-3 criteria. - Thromboembolic complications (all stroke (except haemorrhagic), TIA, myocardial infarction and systemic embolism (vascular complications: distal embolization (non-cerebral) from a vascular source)) at discharge and 30 days as defined by the VARC-3 criteria. - Neurologic events (overt CNS injury, covert CNS injury, neurologic dysfunction (acutely symptomatic) without CNS injury) at discharge and 30 days as defined by the VARC-3 criteria. - Cerebrovascular events (all stroke, TIA) at discharge and 30 days as defined by the VARC-3 criteria. - All stroke at discharge and 30 days as defined by the VARC-3 criteria. - Bleeding complications (type 1–4 bleeding) at discharge and 30 days as defined by the VARC-3 criteria. - Early safety at 30 days as defined by VARC-3 criteria, freedom from: all-cause mortality, all stroke, VARC type 2–4 bleeding, major vascular, access-related, or cardiac structural complication, acute kidney injury stage 3 or 4, moderate or severe aortic regurgitation, new permanent pacemaker due to procedure related conduction abnormalities, surgery or intervention related to the device. Clinical efficacy at 30 days as defined by VARC-3 criteria, freedom from: all-cause mortality, all stroke, hospitalization for procedure- or valve related causes, KCCQ Overall Summary Score 10 point. - All-cause death at discharge and 30 days. - Cardiovascular death at discharge and 30 days. - Quality of life (assessed by SF-12, KCCQ, and TASQ) at 30 days and 90 days.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days post-procedur
