This trial is tracking how well a new heart valve called the Myval works when placed through a small incision under your arm (called the transaxillary approach). Researchers want to understand whether this method is safe, effective, and practical for patients who need aortic valve replacement but may not be good candidates for open heart surgery.
A severely narrowed aortic valve can be life-threatening, but traditional open-heart surgery isn't safe for everyone. This study exists to see if this newer, less invasive approach using a small armpit incision offers patients a safer alternative with good results.

Since this is a registry study, you would be followed after your procedure to share information about how you're doing. Researchers will collect data on your recovery, heart valve function, and any complications to build a clearer picture of how well this approach works for patients like you.
