About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if acute transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is superior to standard treatment (stabilization in an intensive care unit and TAVI subsequently) to treat cardiogenic shock in patients with critical severe aortic stenosis.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
• Does acute TAVI increase survival compared with standard treatment?
Participants will:
* Undergo either TAVI within 12 hours after admission or stabilization and TAVI 72 hours or more after admission * Visit an outpatient clinic and be evaluated for quality of life and heart function
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Aortic valve area less than 1cm2
Peripheral signs of tissue hypoperfusion (arterial blood lactate ≥2.5mmol/l) AND
Systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg and/or need for vasopressor therapy (dopamine/ norepinephrine or epinephrine) AND
Left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 45%
Disqualifiers
Intracranial hemorrhage < 1 month ago
Remaining life-expectancy < 6 month due to other cause
Body mass index <15 OR > 40
Clinical frailty score ≥6 before present worsening
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Acute TAVI
Procedure/SurgeryTAVI must be performed as soon as possible and within 12 hours of admission to the heart center.
Stabilization and subacute TAVI
Other interventionPatients are stabilized according to target parameters. Treatment may include vasopressor, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, and blood transfusion. TAVI is then performed no earlier than 72 hours of admission to heart center.

Clinical Frailty Scale
The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a tool used to assess a patient\'s level of frailty. The CFS ranges from 1 to 9, with higher scores indicating greater frailty.
EQ-5D-5L
The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument used to measure health-related quality of life. It is designed for use in clinical settings, research, and health evaluations, and provides a simple, yet comprehensive measure of a patient\'s overall health status. The \"5D\" refers to the five dimensions of health that it assesses, and the \"5L\" refers to the five levels of severity within each dimension.
