Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with symptomatic severe native aortic stenosis who have been recommended for TAVI with the Navitor/Navitor Vision system by their local Heart Team and can provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active sepsis or endocarditis, left ventricular or atrial thrombus, prohibitive vascular access issues, a non-calcified aortic annulus, pregnant or nursing individuals, or those requiring emergency surgery are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
INTENSIVE is a prospective, single-arm, investigator-initiated registry enrolling patients with symptomatic severe native aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI with the Navitor/Navitor Vision valve at up to 25 experienced centers in Europe and the UK. Data collection aligns with routine clinical care to capture real-world implant and outcome metrics across device sizes (23–35 mm) and delivery systems (FlexNav and loading systems). The protocol requires prior Heart Team determination and informed consent and includes sites with prior Portico or Navitor experience to ensure operator familiarity. The aim is to provide an objective benchmark of current TAVR practice and device performance outside of randomized controlled settings.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could show that the Navitor/Navitor Vision valve provides safe and effective valve replacement with reliable short- and mid-term outcomes in routine clinical practice.
How similar studies have gone: Previous experience with the first-generation Portico valve and other TAVR registries has demonstrated good outcomes, so this registry builds on existing, partially validated approaches rather than testing a wholly unproven concept.
Who can join: the full rules
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is referred to undergo TAVI with a Navitor/Navitor Vision valve according to the local Heart Team. The Heart Team determines the indication for TAVI with Navitor/Navitor Vision before possible enrolment and independently of the study. 2. Subject is of legal age for consent in the host country. 3. Subject has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions, and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Ethics Committee (EC) of the respective clinical site. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or nursing subjects 2. Need for emergency surgery for any reason 3. Contraindications to Navitor/Navitor Vision TAVI according to the IFU: 1. Any sepsis, including active endocarditis 2. Any evidence of left ventricular or atrial thrombus 3. Vascular conditions (i.e., stenosis, tortuosity, or severe calcification) that make insertion and endovascular access to the aortic valve impossible 4. Non-calcified aortic annulus 5. Any leaflet configuration other than tricuspid 6. Inability to tolerate antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy 4. Incapacitated individuals, defined as persons who are mentally ill, mentally handicapped, individuals with severe dementia or individuals without legal authority 5. Individuals who are unable to read or write
