Eligibility Criteria: The study population will be comprised of all patients with severe, calcific, symptomatic aortic stenosis eligible to percutaneous transfemoral TAVI with BE or SE-valve according to the investigating center heart team. The inclusion/exclusion criteria are limited and primarily intend to select patient eligible to both BE and SE-valve. This allows for a study cohort whose composition is expected to be close to an all-comers cohort and therefore representative for the standard TAVI population seen in daily practice. Inclusion Criteria: * Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis defined according to the current echocardiography criteria of the European Society of Cardiology guidelines2. * Heart team of the investigating center agrees that the patient is eligible to TAVI with BE-valve SAPIEN 3 (Edwards Lifesciences©) (or further iterations of the same family) OR TAVI with the SE-valve Evolut-R/pro (Medtronic©) (or futher iterations of the same family). * Heart team of the investigating center agrees that TAVI is feasible via percutaneous transfemoral approach. * Written informed consent to the BEST study * Written informed consent to the FRANCE-TAVI registy * All valve anatomy are authorized (bicuspid or tricuspid aortic valve) Exclusion Criteria: * Age \< 18 years old * Patient with legal protection * Non-affiliation to a social security scheme * Pregnancy * Subject participating in another research protocol on TAVI procedure * Patients presenting with an anatomy that is regarded unsuitable for the implantation of one of the two valve types * TAVI through nontransfemoral approach or surgical cutdown * Valve-in-valve procedure (TAVI in TAVI or TAVI in surgical aortic bioprosthesis) * Implantation of Accurate Neo or Accurate Neo2 valve (Boston scientific) * Severe aortic regurgitation (\>3+) * Refusal to participate to FRANCE-TAVI registry
