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
