Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methodology: This is a multicenter, prospective trial of TAVR in low-risk patients at up to twelve sites in the United States. The trial will have three arms. The first will comprise 200 patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR. The second arm will comprise200 closely matched historical controls who underwent isolated bioprosthetic SAVR.
Historical controls will be selected from among patients at the same site who have undergone isolated bioprosthetic SAVR within the previous 36 months. TAVR patients will then be matched to SAVR patients using STS database variables to perform propensity matching, including (but not limited to) age, gender, race, ethnicity, STS score, and valve prosthesis size. Once the historical matched controls are identified, detailed chart review will abstract in-hospital and 30-day outcomes for the SAVR cohort.
The third arm of the trial will comprise a registry of TAVR in up to 100 low-risk patients with bicuspid aortic valve. The results from the registry arm will be analyzed independently.

Prospective TAVR Arm
200 patients prospectively undergoing transfemoral TAVR
Transfemoral TAVR

SAVR
Low-Risk TAVR with Bicuspid Aortic Valve
The third arm of the trial will comprise a registry of TAVR in up to 100 low-risk patients with bicuspid aortic valve. The results from the registry arm will be analyzed independently.

2. angina pectoris
3. cardiac syncope
3. The Heart Team, including at least one cardiothoracic surgeon and one interventional cardiologist, deem the patient to be reasonable for transfemoral TAVR with a commercially available bioprosthetic valve
4. The Heart Team agrees that the patient is low-risk, quantified by an estimated risk of ≤3% by the calculated STS score for operative mortality at 30 days; AND agrees that SAVR would be an appropriate therapy if offered.

6. Procedure status is elective
7. Expected survival is at least 24 months
For the bicuspid cohort only:
8. Aortic Stenosis of a bicuspid aortic valve
Exclusion Criteria
2. Any condition that is considered a contraindication for placement of a bioprosthetic aortic valve (e.g. patient requires a mechanical aortic valve)
3. Aortic stenosis secondary to a bicuspid aortic valve (except for the bicuspid valve cohort)
4. Prior bioprosthetic surgical aortic valve replacement
