Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Education on tailored Quality Improvement measures

TAVI patients - Consecutive, severe aortic stenosis patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) (there will be a retrospective part: documentation of 30 patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI; and a prospective part enrolling 50 patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI)


Other interventions: Education on tailored Quality Improvement measures
Centers will undergo an education on defined Quality of Care measures, with the aim to implement a standardized pathway which is reproducible, scalable and which will allow increased access. The implementation of these measures will help to reduce resource requirements, intensive care bed occupancy and overall length of hospital stay with uncompromised patient safety.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Retrospective phase:

* Consecutive, severe symptomatic aortic stenosis patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valve prior to the center education on BENCHMARK QoC (Quality of Care) improvement measure (prior to the first education call)).
* Patient is or was scheduled to undergo a 30 Day and 12 Months follow-up (30 Day and 12 Months follow-up: hospital visit or phone call)
* All patients irrespective of valve type or access route will be documented in an electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) based patient logbook.

Prospective phase:

* Consecutive patients with a diagnosis of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis admitted for TAVI with a balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve after center education on BENCHMARK Quality of Care measures and after the center has passed the implementation phase.
* All patients irrespective of valve type or access route will be documented in an eCRF based patient logbook.
