Official title
A Step-Wedged Cluster Randomized Registry-Based Multi-Centre Trial to Compare the Efficacy Between the Canadian TAVI Triage Tool and Standard of Care in TAVI Patients in Ontario, Canada

The goal of this trial is to see if a tool that may reduce wait times will reduce bad outcomes in participants on the TAVI waitlist. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How many deaths, hospitalizations, or urgent TAVI procedures take place while participants wait * Days alive and out of hospital at 30 days and 12 weeks, total health care costs, and wait times Researchers will compare usual wait times to see if the tool reduces death, hospitalizations, and urgent procedures.
