Device: Medtronic Evolut PRO+ TAVR System, or Evolut FX TAVR System, and guideline-directed management and therapy (GDMT)
Patients will have a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) with either an Evolut PRO+ TAVR, or Evolut FX TAVR, heart valve, and given clinical site-determined guideline-directed management and therapy (GDMT). |
No Intervention: Clinical site determined guideline-directed management and therapy (GDMT) alone

- Composite rate of all-cause mortality, all-stroke, life threatening or fatal bleeding, acute kidney injury, hospitalization due to device or procedure-related complication, or valve dysfunction requiring reintervention. [ Time Frame: 30 days ]Life threatening or fatal bleeding is defined as BARC Type 3 or 4 and acute kidney injury is defined as VARC-3 Stage IV.
