In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The aim of the open-label, randomized controlled superiority IRON TAVI trial is to investigate whether intravenous iron therapy (ferric carboxymaltose) improves Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and iron deficiency (ID), undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does intravenous iron therapy improve HRQOL after TAVI in patients with severe AS and ID compared to no intravenous iron therapy (standard of care)? 2. Can intravenous iron therapy enhance exercise capacity, as measured by the 6-minute walk test, after TAVI in patients with severe AS and ID compared to no intravenous iron therapy (standard of care)? The intervention group (receiving iron therapy after TAVI) will be compared to the control group (receiving no iron therapy after TAVI (standard of care)). Participants
