Comparison of Effectiveness and Safety of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients Aged ≥90 Years Versus <90 Years

In a fraction of patients aged ≥90 years, less-invasive transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been considered a therapeutic option for aortic stenosis under careful clinical screening. However, the safety and effectiveness using TAVI in such a population has not been fully elucidated. T...

Description
Summary:In a fraction of patients aged ≥90 years, less-invasive transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been considered a therapeutic option for aortic stenosis under careful clinical screening. However, the safety and effectiveness using TAVI in such a population has not been fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the feasibility of TAVI in nonagenarians. We prospectively enrolled 136 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis who were referred for TAVI. The procedural, early, and midterm clinical outcomes were compared between patients aged
