Abstract

Calcified aortic stenosis has become the most common form of acquired valvular heart disease in very old patients. Despite this
fact, a majority of these patients were turned down by surgery owing to a risk of mortality > 10% in patients older than 90 years. In
recent years, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a therapeutic option for severe aortic stenosis.
However, there is a paucity of data regarding the outcomes of TAVI in patients older than 100 years. We present the oldest
patient who has undergone successful TAVI reported in the current literature.
