Why the study?
To compare the long-term survival following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in an octogenarian population with that in a younger population.
Does age (octogenarian vs younger) impact long-term survival following transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
Population

May support TAVI evaluation in selected octogenarians; leaves open randomized confirmation of age-independent survival.
Does age (octogenarian vs younger) impact long-term survival following transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
TAVI provides similarly favorable long-term survival in octogenarians compared to younger patients, supporting its use in elderly patients without life-limiting comorbidities.
