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