Clinical Trial Summary

The INERTIA trial is a multicenter double-blinded randomized trial of intravenous iron supplementation in patients with severe aortic stenosis and iron deficiency undergoing TAVI or SAVR. The primary endpoint is the time to HF hospital admission or cardiovascular death. Secondary endpoints will assess quality of life indicators and functional capacity at 6 months.
