Introduction And Objectives: Current therapeutic options for severe aortic stenosis (AS) include transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Our aim was to describe the prognosis of patients with severe AS after the decision to perform an intervention, to study the variables influencing their prognosis, and to describe the determinants of waiting time > 2 months.
Methods: Subanalysis of the IDEAS (Influence of the Severe Aortic Stenosis Diagnosis) registry in patients indicated for TAVI or SAVR.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates decision-making factors in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) through a multicenter registry that included 726 patients, primarily older adults, and followed them for one year.
- Most patients (64.5%) received conservative treatment, while 27.4% underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) and 8.1% had transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI); management in specialized hospitals significantly influenced the choice for intervention.
- One-year survival rates varied between treatment types, with conservative treatment showing a survival rate of 76.3%, TAVI at 94.9%, and AVR at 92.5%, while asymptomatic patients managed conservatively had an impressively high
