Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Subclinical stroke rate (i.e., presence of new ischemic brain lesions) as identified with the use of DW-MRI made within one week postoperatively or before discharge | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score one week postoperatively or before discharge (assessment will be performed by a neurologist). - Clinical ischemic stroke (conform VARC-3) diagnosed by a neurologist one week postoperatively or before discharge - TIA diagnosed by a neurologist one week postoperatively or before discharge (conform VARC-3). - Mortality at 30 days - Change in intervention strategy (no unfavourable change, cancellation of surgery (before or after sternotomy), switch to TAVR preprocedural, conversion from limited access to conventional full median sternotomy, conversion to TAVR) - Change in cannulation strategy (no change, use of different cannula, avoiding cannulation of the ascending aorta/arch (thus femoral or subclavian cannulation), higher cannulation (arch), lower cannulation, echo-guided cannulation) - Change in clamping strategy (no change, change of clamping site, no clamping) - Procedural times: Implantation time (defined period from start of the valve assessment until the completion of the prosthesis implantation = fixation of last suture), surgical time, aortic cross-clamp (ACC) time, cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) time - Quality of life (assessed by EQ-5D and KCCQ) at baseline and at two-month follow-up - Fractional flow reserve derived from MSCT (only in patients who are randomized to preoperative MSCT) - Fractional flow reserve measured with standard preprocedural coronary angiography (only in patients who are randomized to preoperative MSCT) | — |
