Detailed Description
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- cognition [12 months]
Montreal-Cognitive-Assessment, cognitive test battery
Secondary Outcome Measures
- health-related quality of life [12 months]
Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36): The SF-36 consists of 8 scales. scores. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale. A score of 100 is equivalent to no disability.
Other Outcome Measures
- mood [12 months]
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS): A person can score between 0 and 21 for either anxiety or depression); Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale: usual cutoff points are: 0 to 6 - normal, 7 to 19 - mild depression, 20 to 34 - moderate depression, >34 - severe Depression
- MRI [12 months]
MRI
