Inclusion criteria

* 1\) Age ≥65 years; * 2\) a. Symptomatic patients with severe AR b. Asymptomatic patients with severe AR and evidence of LV function impairment (per current ESC / ACC guidelines) Any of the following perimeters 1. LVEF ≤55% 2. LVESD \>50 mm 3. LVESDi \>22 mm/m2 4. LVESVi \>45 mL/m2 5. normal LV systolic function at rest (LVEF \>55%), and a progressive decline in LVEF on at least 3 serial studies to the low-normal range (LVEF 55% to 60%) or a progressive increase in LV dilation into the severe range (LV end-diastolic dimension \[LVEDD\] \>65 mm), * 3\) Evaluated by a multi-disciplinary heart team to be suitable for both surgery and transcatheter valve replacement * 4\) Informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions, has provided written informed consent, and agrees to comply with all required post-procedure follow-up visits

Exclusion criteria

* 1\. Confirmed moderate or less AR severity (Grade≤2+) by core laboratory evaluation * 2\. Moderate or severe aortic valve stenosis * 3\. Mixed with clinical relevant severe mitral or tricuspid disease that require valve intervention * 4\. Pre-existing mechanical or bioprosthetic valve in any position. (of note, mitral ring is not an exclusion) * 5\. Subject is high-risk for SAVR as determined by the local heart team * 6\. Subject refuses SAVR as a treatment option * 7\. Subject is selected for aortic valve repair or aortic surgery * 8\. Need for emergency surgery or TAVR for any reason * 9\. Anatomical

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
All-cause mortality12 monthsAll-cause mortality at 12 months
All stroke12 monthsNumber of patients with stroke
Unplanned cardiac rehospitalization12 monthsNumber of patients who had unplanned cardiac rehospitalization

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
New-onset atrial fibrillation30 daysComparing the onset of atrial fibrillation in TAVR with SAVR
Echocardiographic effective orifice area30 daysComparing echocardiographic effective orifice area in TAVR with SAVR
Moderate or greater patient prosthesis mismatch as measured by echocardiography30 daysComparing moderate or greater patient prosthesis mismatched in TAVR with SAVR
Cardiovascular rehospitalization30 daysComparing the number of cardiovascular rehospitalizations in TAVR with SAVR
Health-related quality of life assessed by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-23)30 daysComparing change in KCCQ-23 in TAVR with SAVR. The KCCQ score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
Length of index hospitalizationPre-intervention/procedure surgeryComparing TAVR length of index hospitalization with SAVR
Composite primary endpoints30 daysComparing the superiority of the composite primary endpoint and its components in TAVR with SAVR
