65 Years - undefined (Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Documented severe aortic valve stenosis
  2. Access vessel diameter >6 mm as defined pre procedure via angiographic measure

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE) Rate
Defined as a composite of all cause death, myocardial infarction(MI) (Q-wave & non-Q-wave), stroke, and re-intervention (defined as any emergent cardiac surgery or percutaneous re-intervention catheter procedure that repairs, otherwise alters or adjusts or replaces a previously implanted valve)
Percentage of Participants With Overall Device Success
Vascular access, delivery and deployment of the device, and retrieval of the delivery system Correct position of the device in the proper anatomical location (placement in the annulus with no impedance on device function) Intended performance of the prosthetic valve (aortic valve area > 1.2 cm2 (by echocardiography using the continuity equation) and mean aortic valve gradient < 20 mmHg, without moderate or severe prosthetic valve aortic regurgitation) Only one valve implanted No occurrence of in-hospital MACCE
Cardiac-related Death
Defined as all death resulting from a cardiac cause or complications of a cardiac procedure and / or death of an unknown cause; this category includes valve-related deaths and non-valve-related cardiac deaths (e.g. congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, documented fatal arrhythmias).

Secondary Outcome Measures

All-Cause Mortality
is defined per Valve Academic Research Consortium-1 consensus document (VARC-1), including Cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality.
Myocardial Infarction
Included Q-wave and non-Q-wave.
Stroke
Is a neurological deficit lasting more than 24 hours, or lasting 24 hours or less with a brain imaging study showing infarction.
Re-intervention
Any emergent surgical or percutaneous interventional catheter procedure that repairs, otherwise alters or adjusts, or replaces a previously implanted valve.
