Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Nonagenarians Compared to Younger than 90 Year Old Patients

Given that life expectancy has improved, nonagenarians have become a significant proportion of world population. As aortic stenosis is primarily a disease of the elderly, the need for invasive cardiac approaches is expected to increase in people of extreme age. Herein, we compare the in-hospital adverse clinical outcomes and mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures in nonagenarians to younger than 90 year old patients.
