Brief Summary:

The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe, symptomatic Aortic Stenosis (AS) at intermediate surgical risk by randomizing patients to either Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR) or TAVI with the Medtronic CoreValve® System.

Single Arm: The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implementation (TAVI) in patients with severe symptomatic Aortic Stenosis (AS) at intermediate surgical risk with TAVI. This is a non-randomized phase of the pivotal clinical trial.

    Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction (PVD) was defined according to Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC) II using the Core Lab Echocardiography assessments including aortic regurgitation (AR) and aortic stenosis (AS) evaluations. Total aortic regurgitation (AR) reported as moderate or severe was considered

    PVD defined as:

    • Mean aortic valve gradient ≥20 mmHg AND ((EOA ≤0.9 cm2 if BSA <1.6 or ≤1.1 cm2 if BSA ≥1.6) OR DVI <0. 35 m/s) OR

  25. Resheath and Recapture Success (Evolut R Only) [ Time Frame: Procedure ]
    The Evolut™ R system provides operators with the ability to resheath or recapture the valve before it is completely deployed in the event of initial suboptimal positioning. Successful resheath was defined as successfully retrieving a portion of the valve into the capsule of the delivery catheter, and successful recapture was defined as successfully recapturing the entirety of the valve into the capsule of the delivery catheter.
