The United Kingdom Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (UK TAVI) Trial. A multi-centre randomised controlled trial to assess the clinical effectiveness and cost utility of TAVI, compared with conventional surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR), in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis at intermediate or high operative risk

All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis referred for intervention 2. Age =80 years or age =70 years with intermediate or high operative risk from conventional AVR, as determined by the MDT 3. Both conventional AVR and TAVI deemed to be acceptable treatment options; 4.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Intervention deemed inappropriate due to co-morbidity or frailty 2. Life expectancy less than one year due to co-morbidity 3. Previous AVR or TAVI 4.
