Background: Acute decompensated aortic stenosis (ADAS) carries high mortality, but the optimal timing of valve intervention is unknown. Objective: To assess the association between time to valve intervention (transcatheter aortic valve replacement [TAVR] or balloon aortic valvuloplasty [BAV]) and clinical outcomes in ADAS.
