Cardiac imaging evidence of intracardiac mass, thrombus, or vegetation. 11. Previous stroke with permanent disability (modified Rankin score ≥ 2). 12. Life expectancy \< 24 months due to non-cardiac co-morbid conditions including carcinomas, chronic liver disease, chronic renal disease or chronic end-stage pulmonary disease. 13. Currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study where the primary endpoint is not achieved. 14. Any condition, which in the Investigator's opinion, would preclude safe participation of participants in the study (e.g. psychiatric, alcoholism). 15. TAVI unsuitable via transfemoral route.
