Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate the impact of age 80 years or older on clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement compared to patients under 80 years of age.
Does age ≥80 years worsen clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement compared to patients aged under 80 years?
Does age ≥80 years worsen clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement compared to patients aged under 80 years?
In an observational study of 86 patients undergoing TAVR, age ≥80 years was associated with a significantly higher incidence of total mortality compared to younger patients.
Age ≥80 associated with higher post-TAVR mortality; leaves open age-specific risk stratification in prospective trials.
