Inclusion Criteria:
1. Subject aged ≤ 75 years;
2. With symptomatic severe bicuspid aortic stenosis, defined as: peak flow velocity ≥ 4.0m/s, or mean trans-aortic pressure gradient ≥ 40mmHg, or aortic orifice area (AVA) ≤ 1.0cm2 (or AVA index ≤ 0.6cm2/m2) confirmed by echocardiography;
3. New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function classification ≥ Class II;
4. With an intermediate or low risk of surgical procedures (STS score ≤8%) assessed by the local heart team;
5. Voluntarily participate in this study and sign the informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Known allergy or resistance to study device and control device components such as nitinol or contrast media;
2. Known contraindication or allergy to anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications and inability to tolerate the anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy;
3. Known presence of active infective endocarditis or other active infection;
4. Known presence of severe vascular disease that precludes safe implantation of the prosthetic valve;
5. Ascending aorta width ≥50mm;
6. Previous prosthetic valve implantation (mechanical or bioprosthetic) in any heart place;
7. The aortic root anatomy not suitable for transcatheter aortic valve implantation confirmed by preoperative imaging (including aortic root calcification that influence the sufficient dilatation of the rposthetic valve);
8. Intracardiac mass, left ventricular or left atrial thrombus, vegetations confirmed by preoperative echocardiography;
9. Acute myocardial infarction (defined as Q-wave MI or non-Q-wave MI) within 30 days prior to surgery;
10. Invasive therapeutic cardiac surgery within 30 days prior to surgery (except for temporary pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation);
11. Clinically diagnosed stroke or TIA within 3 months prior to surgery;
12. Gastrointestinal bleeding requiring hospitalization or transfusion therapy or other clinically significant bleeding or coagulation disorders within 3 months prior to surgery, which preclude the required antiplatelet therapy in the study;
13. Comorbid with severe native coronary artery lesions that require revascularization therapy;
14. Comorbid with severe mitral or tricuspid regurgitation;
15. Comorbid with cardiogenic shock or hemodynamic instability requiring support from positive inotropic agents or mechanical ventilation or mechanical cardiac assistance;
16. Comorbid with severe left ventricular dysfunction (defined as left ventricular ejection fraction LVEF \<20%);
17. Comorbid with end-stage renal diseases requiring chronic dialysis;
18. Comorbid with blood dyscrasias defined as leukopenia (white blood cell count \< 3×109/L), thrombocytopenia (platelet count \< 50×109/L), history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy, or hypercoagulable states;
19. Subjects corresponding to the criteria of a vulnerable population (including patients who are unable to fully understand all aspects of the study, patients lacking capacity in the informed consent procedure and patients with dementia and cognitive impairment);
20. Female subjects known to be pregnant or lactating;
21. Life expectancy is less than 12 months as assessed by the investigator;
22. Subject is participating in or planning to participate in other drug or device clinical studies within 12 months postoperatively;
23. Any other condition that, at the discretion of investigator or heart team, may preclude the subject's safe participation in the study.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Incidence of composite endpoint events (all-cause mortality, all strokes, and re-hospitalizations [surgery, valve or heart failure related re-hospitalizations]) — 12 months postoperatively The composite endpoint event at 12 months postoperatively refers to all-cause mortality, all strokes, and re-hospitalizations related to procedure, valve or heart failure that occur within 12 months postoperatively.
