This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a special computer program called FEops HEARTguide can help doctors plan transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) surgery more accurately. The program uses CT scans to create a 3D model of your heart and simulates how different valve sizes and positions will fit in your unique anatomy. The goal is to help doctors choose the best valve for you and reduce complications after surgery.
Currently, doctors use standard CT imaging and their experience to decide which valve to use during this heart surgery. This trial aims to see whether adding advanced computer simulation can predict outcomes better, help doctors make better choices before surgery, and ultimately lead to fewer complications and better results for patients.

If you enroll, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will have their surgery planned using the FEops HEARTguide computer simulation in addition to standard CT imaging, while the other group will receive standard planning based on CT imaging alone. Both groups will undergo the same valve replacement surgery, but the timing and choice of valve may differ based on the planning method. Your doctors will monitor you after surgery to track how well the valve works and whether any complications develop.
