Core Tip	Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) demonstrated favorable mid-term survival in our cohort of elderly patients aged 85 years or older. The 1-year and 3-year survival rates were 82% and 63%, respectively. Mortality risk increased in patients with obesity. Advanced age alone should not be a contraindication for TAVI.
