Plain-language summary

PAVI-TAVI Registry Overview The PAVI-TAVI Registry is an observational study at Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo in Pavia, Italy. It tracks real-world outcomes of transcatheter heart valve procedures like TAVI (for aortic stenosis), valve-in-valve (VIV), TAVI for aortic insufficiency (TAVI-IAo), and TMVR (for degenerated mitral valves) in patients over 18 years old. Who Can Join Eligible patients include adults treated with these procedures on native aortic valves, failed aortic bioprostheses, or degenerated mitral prostheses/rings. The only exclusion is not providing informed consent. Study Goals The main goal is to evaluate TAVI's safety and effectiveness over 5 years, focusing on all-cause mortality from the initial procedure. Secondary goals assess complication rates, valve function, inflammation markers, heart failure hospitalizations, heart attacks, strokes, and major cardiac events. How It Works No experimental treatments-it's a registry collecting routine clinical data via a secure electronic system. Follow-up happens at your doctor's discretion, ideally at 3 and 12 months, then yearly (often by phone for stable cases). The study aims to enroll 500+ patients.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
