Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Nonagenarians: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

CONCLUSION: TAVR in nonagenarians is an effective and safe procedure, with encouraging outcomes given the general life expectancy of these patients.

Specific research to identify ideal candidates and techniques in this cohort is needed.PMID:35235529
