In the proposed study, patients with and without embolic protection devices during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation will be repeatedly examined with a comprehensive psychiatric and cognitive test battery over a post-interventional period of 6 months after TAVI, with regard to the effects on mood, cognitive Performance and health-related Quality of life.
The percutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVI, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) enables the implantation of a new biological aortic valve at the beating heart. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is a gold standard in the therapy of aortic stenosis, especially in patients with a too high health risk for cardiovascular surgery. In the proposed study, patients with and without embolic protection devices during TAVI will be repeatedly examined with a comprehensive psychiatric and cognitive test battery over a post-interventional period of 6 months after TAVI, with regard to the effects on mood, cognitive Performance and health-related quality of life.
