Avalus European Registry - an Observational Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy in a Real World Population

The study is a prospective, observational, single-arm, multi-center registry. The patients must undergoing bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement with the Avalus valve. This prospective registry aims to examine the outcome and performance of surgical aortic valve replacement with the Avalus pericardial bioprosthesis. The goal of this project is to evaluate the real world results of aortic valve replacement with the Avalus valve. This will result in clinical and hemodynamic knowledge of this particular valve. The investigators are aiming for 1000 patient inclusions distributed over 40 sites across Europe and potentially also involving Canada. Intentionally, we kept the inclusion criteria as wide as possible in order to obtain a real-world experience with and performance of the bioprosthesis. Patients younger than 18 years and salvage procedures are the only exclusion criteria from the registry. Outcome is evaluated in accordance with the VARC-2 criteria up to 1-year postoperatively.
