Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)-Pilot Trial

Intensive Versus Usual Home-based Physical Therapy to Promote Functional Recovery After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): A Pilot Randomized Trial

The primary purpose of this this randomized interventional study is to determine if increased level of home-based rehabilitation coupled with a pre-TAVR consultation visit in transcatheter aortic valve replacement patients will improve functional status and quality of life and will decrease hospital readmission.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of severe aortic stenosis (AS) as determined by echocardiography, who are deemed eligible for TAVR by the NYULMC Heart Valve Team

Exclusion Criteria:

• Decisional impairment as assessed by the University of California, San Diego Brief Assessment of Capacity to Consent (UBACC)
