Brief Summary
The purpose of this postmarket Registry is to assess the standard of care and clinical outcomes of the Direct Flow Medical Transcatheter Aortic Valve System used in clinical routine according to the approved commercial indications. Procedures and assessments required by this registry are generally considered standard of care for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement patients. Evaluation criteria will be the incidence of mortality/morbidity and adverse events clinical performance, and hemodynamic performance of the DEVICE via ultrasound (echo) and angiographic imaging.

Eligibility Criteria
The Direct Flow Medical Transcatheter Aortic Valve System is intended for use in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis who require replacement of their native aortic valve but are extreme risk candidates for open surgical replacement. This is in accordance with the product Intended Use in the commercial Instructions for Use.
You may qualify if:
- Age \> 70 years old
- Severe aortic valve stenosis determined by echocardiogram and Doppler:
- mean gradient \>40 mmHg or peak jet velocity \>4.0 m/s
- aortic valve area ≤0.8 cm2 or aortic valve area index ≤0.5 cm2/m2
- Symptomatic aortic valve stenosis (angina, congestive heart failure, NYHA Functional Class ≥ II, or syncope).
- Patient is an extreme risk candidate for open surgical aortic valve repair such that the site Investigators (interventional cardiologist and cardiothoracic surgeon) agree that medical factors preclude operation, based on the conclusion that the probability of death or serious morbidity exceeds the probability of meaningful improvement due to the patient's co-morbidities (such as, but not limited to, severe COPD, porcelain aorta, previous thorax irradiation) or logistic EuroSCORE ≥ 20.
You may not qualify if:
- The Direct Flow Medical device is contraindicated for post implant balloon valvuloplasty.
