Overview

Retrospective analysis shows comparable mortality despite higher stroke rates in patients aged ≥90, suggesting the importance of tailored prevention strategies.

Key Points

  • Nonagenarians had a higher in-hospital stroke rate of 6.7%, compared to 2.2% in younger patients.
  • At 1 year, all-cause mortality was 21.3% for nonagenarians versus 16.7% for those under 90, with no significant difference.
  • The analysis involved 620 patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI, with 75 aged ≥90 years and 545 aged <90 years.
  • These findings support TAVI’s feasibility in very elderly patients while underscoring the need for stroke prevention.
