– Stenosis of the aorta resulting in significant anatomic narrowing as determined by angiography or non-invasive imaging, i.e. echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT Scan;
– Stenosis of the aorta resulting in hemodynamic alterations, resulting in systolic pressure gradient, systemic hypertension or altered left ventricular function;
– Stenosis of the aorta where balloon angioplasty is ineffective or contraindicated;
– Stenosis diameter >20% of the adjacent vessel diameter.
