Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
For inclusion in the study subjects should fulfill the following criteria:
- Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures.
- Adult patients (more than 18 years) with ability to understand and accept the participation in the clinical trial.
- Patients with degenerative symptomatic severe AS accepted for TAVI after evaluation of the Heart Team of each center.
- Patients who are not participating in any other clinical trial or research study (registries allowed).
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects should not enter the study if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled:

- Patients with documented moderate or severe hepatic insufficiency
- Any condition that may put the patient at risk or influence the outcome of the trial
- Patients previously randomized in this trial or in another clinical trial with an investigational product or device over the past 30 days.
- Patients who cannot attend follow up visits scheduled in the study
