Comparison of Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients ≥85 Years Versus Those <85 Years
The differential outcomes across the age spectrum of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) recipients are still debated. Aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of oldest-old patients undergoing TAVI in the large “Registro Italiano GISE sull'impianto di Valvola Aortica Percutanea (RISPEVA)” registry. A total of 3,507 patients were stratified according to age: 1,381 were ≥85 years, 2,126 were <85 years. Primary endpoints were death at 30-days and complete follow-up (FU) (medium 368 days).
