Implication
Retrospective analysis compares mortality and stroke rates in TAVI patients aged ≥90 to those younger than 90, indicating crucial insights for elderly care.
Key Points
- Nonagenarians experienced higher in-hospital stroke rates at 6.7% compared to 2.2% in younger patients, indicating increased risks.
- All-cause mortality at 1 year was 21.3% in nonagenarians versus 16.7% in patients under 90 years, but differences were not statistically significant.
- This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 620 transfemoral TAVI patients divided into age groups of ≥90 and <90 years.
- Results suggest the need for tailored stroke prevention in nonagenarians despite comparable mortality outcomes to younger cohorts.
