About this trial
The purpose of this study is to see if having the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure done in a hospital with onsite cardiac surgery available or not, makes a difference on participant outcomes. Current standard of care is to have this procedure done in a hospital with onsite cardiac surgery available.
Hypothesis
The investigators hypothesize that the TAVR in experienced interventional cardiac centers without on-site cardiac surgery will be safe and effective. Although this is happening clinically in select regions internationally, this change in the clinical application of TAVI requires a rigorous assessment of safety with a robust randomized trial and multicenter international collaboration.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Severe symptomatic AS reviewed and accepted for Transfemoral (TF) TAVI by an established Heart Team
Obtained informed consent
Disqualifiers
Ambiguous aortic annular sizing on CT measurement deemed to increase the risk of valve embolization
High risk LVOT with a dimension significantly smaller than the annulus and/or extensive calcification
Features that increase the risk of coronary artery occlusion including inadequate coronary artery height and/or shallow coronary sinuses in the setting of a significant coronary artery territory at risk (accounting for prior CABG)
High risk STJ anatomy defined by inadequate height and/or diameter and/or excessive calcification

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Occurrence of an Emergent CardiacSurgery (ECS) event: Ventricular
Primary Safety Outcome: Occurrence of an ECS event: Ventricular Valve Embolization, Aortic Annular Rupture, Ventricular Perforation requiring ECS or Ascending Aortic Dissection requiring ECS. Composite Endpoint of Primary Efficacy and Safety (Net clinical benefit) Multiple measurement will result in an outcome of ECS (Emergent Cardiac Surgery).
Death
Primary Efficacy Outcome: Composite of All Cause death from randomization.
Myocardial Infarction
Primary Efficacy Outcome: Composite of All Cause myocardial infarction (MI) from randomization.
Stroke
Primary Efficacy Outcome: Composite of All Cause Stroke, from randomization.
