Inclusion criteria

  1. Subject is at least 18 years old
  2. Subject has a severe symptomatic AS undergoing a TAVI procedure
  3. Subject with a THV for which rapid pacing is considered necessary during valve implantation
  4. Subject agrees to participate in the study and is able to sign the informed consent form

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Failure to provide signed informed consent
  2. Extremely horizontal aorta (aortic root angle ≥70°)
  3. Extreme tortuosity at the level of the iliofemoral arteries, thoracic or abdominal aorta
  4. Inability to receive full anticoagulation during the TAVI procedure
  5. Prohibitive surgical risk precluding (according to the Heart Team) conversion to open heart surgery in case of a life-threatening complication.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of patients with effective rapid pacing run

    Effective rapid pacing will be defined as an adequate ventricular pacing capture by the SavvyWireTM leading to a reduction of systolic aortic pressure value \<60 mmHg.

    Time frame: during surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Presence of major complications (safety)

    Presence of major complications related to the SAVVY guidewire including guidewire kink hindering or preventing the advancement of the transcatheter valve system, left ventricular perforation and pacing capture translating into major clinical consequences (transcatheter valve malpositioning or embolization).

    Time frame: during surgery

  2. Percentage of patients with hemodynamic assessment without additional manipulation (pressure efficacy)

    Ventricular pressure recording with the SavvyWireTM, allowing gradient calculation and display by the OptoMonitor 3, without the need of additional device exchanges through the aortic valve after valve implantation.

    Time frame: during surgery

  3. Percentage of patient with valve advancement to intended position (mechanical efficacy)

    Effective advancement of the THV delivery system over the SavvyWireTM allowing a precise positioning of the valve to the intended deployment position.

    Time frame: during surgery
