About this trial
To compare the effectiveness and the safety of femoral-iliac IVL versus balloon only PTA for successful deployment of transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve prosthesis.

Treatments tested in this trial
Trans-femoral TAVI
DeviceTrans-femoral TAVI (Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Implantation) with calcified ilio-femoral arteries via PTA (Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty ) or IVL (Intra-vascular Lithotripsy)
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Feasibility and safety on the trans-femoral (TF) approach
Comparison of feasibility and safety on the TF approach as the composite of: * Valve implant unsuccess due to difficulties in advancing through the ilio-femoral vascular axe * Absence of cross over from PTA to IVL or vice-versa * Absence of severe vascular and bleeding complications at discharge and at 1 month follow up visit, as defined by VARC-3
Secondary outcomes
MAEs
30-day composite occurrence of major clinical events: all-cause death, myocardial infarction and stroke
Vascular and bleeding complications
30-day occurrence of vascular and bleeding complications according to the VARC-3 definition
Device-related vascular complication
Any device-related vascular complication
Residual stenosis, Degree of dissection, Final Flow
Angiographic analysis from DSA
