Key result
Advanced age (≥85 years) was not associated with worse outcomes after TAVI, with similar 1-year mortality compared to younger patients (7.7% vs 15.4%, p=0.4).
Why the study?

Similar short- and mid-term TAVI outcomes in ≥85-year-olds; leaves open whether age should influence selection in broader populations.

Does transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have worse outcomes in patients aged ≥85 years compared to patients <85 years?
Absolute Event Rate: 7.7% vs 15.4%
p-value: p=0.4
TAVI is a relatively safe procedure in patients aged 85 and older, with outcomes comparable to younger patients, indicating age alone should not be a discriminatory factor.
Olasińska‐Wiśniewska et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Severe aortic stenosis (n=162). Advanced age (≥85 years) vs. Age <85 years was evaluated on 1-year mortality (p=0.4). Advanced age (≥85 years) was not associated with worse outcomes after TAVI, with similar 1-year mortality compared to younger patients (7.7% vs 15.4%, p=0.4).
