This study aimed to measure patients\u2019 QoL prior and after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedure. Methods: This prospective study was conducted from November 2022 to December 2024 in a sample of 302 TAVI patients from three public Hospitals in Greece. Patients were recruited and followed up at the point of discharge and six months after discharge. Patient-reported quality of life was recorded using both the generic EQ-5D-5L and KCCQ a disease-specific HRQoL instrument. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using SPSSv.29. Results: The results of the study indicate excellent clinical outcomes with low mortality rates and low incidence of severe complications. Improvements in TAVI techniques and patient selection have led to decreased mortality rates. Six months follow-up confirms the great clinical outcome, and readmission rates were limited to two cases. From the patients\u2019 perspective, the overall outcome was rated as acceptable or favourable by most of them, with movement problems and pain being commonly stated. After discharge, the patients stated better outcomes both regarding their daily living, mobility and psychological state, reporting less stress and depression. Conclusion: QoL assessments help determine the true benefit of TAVI beyond just survival rates. Further research is needed to stress the main determinants of QoL in these patients and to guide the everyday clinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/shti250755","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,30]],"date-time":"2025-06-30T08:22:53Z","timestamp":1751271773000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Clinical Characteristics and Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing TAVI Procedure: Results from the VIP-Cardio Survey"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7962-040X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Petsios","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ilias","family":"Kosmas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Onassis Hospital, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Panagiotis","family":"Minogiannis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Onassis Hospital, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dionysios","family":"Tsoukalas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Onassis Hospital, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daphne","family":"Kaitelidou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olga","family":"Siskou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"},{"name":"University of Piraeus, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olympia","family":"Konstantakopoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iliana","family":"Karagkouni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Petros","family":"Galanis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Panagiota","family":"Peleka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitra","family":"Kousi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Vemmos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hellenic Stroke Organization, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ioannis","family":"Iakovou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Onassis Hospital, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","Global Healthcare Transformation in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/pdf\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI250755","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,30]],"date-time":"2025-06-30T08:22:53Z","timestamp":1751271773000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI250755"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]]},"ISBN":["9781643686004"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/shti250755","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630","1879-8365"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9630","type":"print"},{"value":"1879-8365","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]]}}}
