Multi Center Registry of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Northeast China

The purpose of this study was to observe the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic valve stenosis in a real-world clinical practice environment.

This study is a prospective / retrospective, multicenterstudy after listing. The researchers preliminarily confirmed that they could be enrolled in this study according to the diagnosis of the subjects' medical history. After fully informed, they signed the informed consent, and met the TAVR inclusion requirements (see the inclusion criteria for details). At the same time, they registered the subjects in multiple centers. After the start of the trial, the participants were enrolled in the study, All the subjects who met the inclusion criteria but did not meet the discharge criteria were registered in the central registration system. The patients were followed up for 30 days, 6 months and 12 months, and followed up by telephone for 2, 3, 4 and 5 years.

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Severe aortic valve stenosis, defined as follows:

   1. Symptomatic patients:

      * The mean differential pressure measured by echocardiography ≥ 40mm Hg
      * Or peak aortic ejection ≥ 4.0 m / S
      * Or aortic valve area ≤ 1.0cm ²（ Or AVA index ≤ 0.6 cm2 / m2)
   2. Asymptomatic patients:

      * Severe aortic stenosis and aortic valve area ≤ 1.0cm ²（ 6 cm2 / m2) with aortic ejection peak value ≥ 5.0 M / s or mean pressure difference measured by --echocardiography ≥ 60 mm Hg;
      * Or aortic valve area ≤ 1.0cm ²（ Or AVA index ≤ 0.6 cm2 / m2), combined with aortic ejection peak ≥ 4.0 m / s or average differential pressure measured by echocardiography ≥ 40 mm Hg, combined with limited exercise tolerance test, abnormal blood pressure response or arrhythmia;
