Summary: | IntroductionIron deficiency is a prevalent comorbidity in patients with severe aortic stenosis and may be associated with procedural and clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). In the Intravenous Iron Supplement for Iron Deficiency in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis (IIISAS) trial, we aim to examine whether a single administration of ferric derisomaltose can improve physical capacity after TAVI.Methods and analysisThis randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to enrol 150 patients with iron deficiency who are scheduled for TAVI due to severe aortic stenosis. The study drug and matching placebo are administered approximately 3 months prior to TAVI, and the patients are followed for 3 months after TAVI. Inclusion criteria are iron deficiency, defined as serum ferritin |
