They must understand the study and consent to participate. Exclusions include pregnancy, recent heart attacks or procedures, certain heart diseases, planned surgeries, extreme obesity (BMI > 50), very low life expectancy or ejection fraction, blood disorders, active infections including COVID-19.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: TAVR - Main CohortExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
Group II: TAVR - Bicuspid RegistryExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects with bicuspid aortic valve morphology will undergo TAVR
