The goal of this registry is to learn how the Medtronic Evolut™ FX+ transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) System performs in adults with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis who need valve replacement. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can using a standardized procedure for the impantation of the Medtronic Evolut™ FX+ TAVI System increase safety and efficiency? * What are the short-term (30 days) and long-term (1 year) patient outcomes, including the need for a pacemaker, complications, and valve function? Participants will undergo TAVI with the Medtronic Evolut™ FX+ TAVI System as part of their routine care. Be followed during their hospital stay, at 30 days, and at 1 year to check heart health, valve function, and recovery. 500 people at 12 hospitals in Portugal will take part in this registry.

VARC-3 technical success
A composite outcome assessed immediately after the TAVI procedure, including: survival, successful vascular access and device deployment/retrieval, correct positioning of a single valve, and freedom from major complications or need for surgery/intervention (excluding pacemaker).
Time frame: Immediately after the index procedure
Rate of Permanent Pacemaker Implantation (PPI)
Percentage of participants who require a new permanent pacemaker due to new or worsening conduction disturbances.
Time frame: 30 days after procedure
Length of Hospital Stay
Number of days from TAVI procedure to discharge.
Time frame: Up to 30 days after procedure
All-Cause Mortality
Death from any cause.
Time frame: 30 days and 1 year
Stroke
Any new neurologic deficit classified as a stroke by clinical evaluation.
Time frame: 30 days and 1 year

Valve Dysfunction Requiring Reintervention
Prosthetic valve dysfunction that requires repeat procedure.
Time frame: 30 days and 1 year
Rehospitalization
Rehospitalization for valve-related symptoms or worsening heart failure.
Time frame: 30 days and 1 year
Prosthetic Valve Function
Echocardiographic measures of valve function: left ventricular ejection fraction, peak velocity, mean gradient, effective orifice area, indexed effective orifice area, and prosthetic aortic valve regurgitation. It is defined as YES if: peak velocity is \< 3 m/s AND mean gradient \< 20 mmHg AND DVI \> 0,25\* AND Regurgitation \< moderate (this means that LV and index EOA are indirectly in it, no cutt offs are needed) \* DVI is the ratio of the Velocity-Time Integral (VTI) in the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract (LVOT) to the VTI across the stenotic aortic valve. It is measured based on the peak velocity /Grad, Effective orifice area (cm²)
Time frame: 30 days and 1 year
