Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: CI1. Sign the letter of consent; CI2. Age >=18-years; CI3. Shows disease caused by aortic stenosis and/or regurgitation, with NYHA>=II; CI4. At least one cardiovascular specialist and two cardiovascular surgeons diagnose that: subjects are tabooed with traditional opening heart valve replacement surgery (which is defined as the risk of death during 30days after surgery is more than 50% or existing severe irreversible complications or other factors affecting the surgery (such as ascending aorta and severe aortic valve calcification, fragile physique, chest deformity, severe liver disease, severe lung disease, etc.)) or high-risk surgery (LogEuroSCORE=20% and/or STS=8); CI5. At least one cardiovascular specialist and two cardiovascular surgeons believe that the patient will benefit from valve implantation. CI6. Severe aortic stenosis and/or regurgitation, echocardiography results showing average pressure >=40 mm Hg, or aortic blood flow peak flow >=4.0 m/s, or aortic prosthetic valve area 19 mm and <29 mm, confirmed by CT measurement; AI 2 Ascending aortic diameter <43 mm in diameter, as referenced with the sinotubular junction.
