Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study collects real-world data of patients who were treated with the ALLEGRA TAVI System TF and evaluates early and midterm clinical and quality of life outcome.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1: Patients who undergo TAVI for symptomatic severe stenosed aortic heart valves

No interventions assigned to this group

Cohort 2:

patients undergoing a VIV procedure in failing surgical bioprostheses.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Symptomatic degeneration of severe calcified aortic heart valve OR failing surgical aortic bioprosthetic valve
2. Acceptable candidate for elective treatment with the ALLEGRA TAVI System TF (according to the most recent version of the ALLEGRA Instructions For Use)
3. High risk for surgery as assessed by the heart team
4. Has signed the Patient Informed Consent Form \>= 18 years

Exclusion Criteria

General:

1. Echocardiographic evidence of intracardiac thrombus or vegetation
2. Significant aortic disease such as severe obstructive calcification or marked tortuosity or kinking which will preclude a safe advancement of the ALLEGRA TAVI System TF
3. Iliofemoral vessel conditions such as severe obstructive calcification, severe tortuosity or kinking that would preclude safe placement of an 18 Fr introducer sheath or make endovascular access to the aortic valve impossible
4. Severe ventricular dysfunction with LVEF \<20%
5. Evidence of active endocarditis or other acute infections
6. Renal failure requiring continuous renal replacement therapy
7. Known hypersensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre-medicated or contraindication to anticoagulant or anti-platelet medication or to nitinol alloy or to bovine tissue
8. Life expectancy ≤ 12 months due to other medical illness
9. Currently participating in another investigational drug or device study

Patients with native aortic valve disease:

1. Unicuspid or bicuspid aortic valve
2. Non-calcified aortic stenosis
3. Combined aortic valve disease with predominant aortic regurgitation \> 3
4. Distance between aortic valve basal plane and the orifice of the lowest coronary artery \< 8 mm

Patients with degenerated surgical bioprosthetic aortic valves:

1. Low position of the coronary ostia, especially in combination with shallow sinuses
2. Internal diameter of the bioprosthesis is ≤16 mm or \>28 mm
3. Partially detached leaflets that in the aortic position may obstruct a coronary ostium
