Structured Shared Decision Making for Patients Undergoing SAVR or TAVR

The conversation between the heart team member and the patient will be structured according the adapted three-talk model for patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis and using the American College of Cardiology's decision aid for patients deciding between TAVR and SAVR

Usual care will include baseline visits without a structured SDM approach. Usual care includes at least one decision making talk with a heart team member discussing information about the disease, treatment options as well as benefits and risks of each procedure.
