Mortality at 30 days
The primary safety endpoint is all-cause mortality at 30 days
Time frame: 30-Days
Technical Success - A composite endpoint per VARC-3, defined as meeting the following:
* Freedom from Mortality * Successful access, delivery of the device, and retrieval of the delivery system * Correct positioning of a single prosthetic heart valve into the proper anatomical location * Freedom from surgery or intervention related to the device or to a major vascular or access-related or cardiac structural complication
Time frame: Immediately after procedure
Device Success- A composite endpoint per VARC-3, defined as meeting the following:
* Technical Success * Freedom from mortality * Freedom from surgery or intervention related to the device a or to a major vascular or access-related or cardiac structural complication * Intended performance of the valve (mean gradient \< 20 mmHg, peak velocity \< 3 m/s, Doppler velocity index ≥ 0.25, and less than moderate aortic regurgitation.
Time frame: 30 Days
Post-procedural Valve Performance - EOA assessed via Echo
• Aortic valve effective orifice area (EOA; cm\^2)
Time frame: Discharge (or day 7), 30 days, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months
Post-procedural Valve Performance- Aortic Regurgitation (AR) assessed via Echo
• Severity of aortic valve regurgitation (AR; graded scale)
Time frame: Discharge (or day 7), 30 days, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months
Post-procedural Valve Performance - Aortic Valve Gradient assessed via Echo
• Aortic valve gradient (mean and peak; mmHg)
