About

A geriatric assessment is becoming increasingly important in the treatment of patients with a percutaneous aortic valve replacement due to their comorbidities. The aim of this multimodal therapy concept is to examine the influence on the postoperative outcome. In addition to a comprehensive assessment of the individual frailty score, the subjective condition before and after TAVI is also evaluated using a standardized questionnaire ("Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire").
