| Core Tip |
As transcatheter aortic valve implantation expands into younger populations, chronological age alone is no longer an appropriate barrier to intervention. The study by Algethami et al demonstrates favorable mid-term survival in patients aged 85 years and older, reinforcing the safety and feasibility of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in carefully selected individuals. Importantly, the identification of obesity as a predictor of early mortality highlights the limitations of age-based risk scores and underscores the need for biology- and comorbidity-driven patient selection within multidisciplinary heart teams. |
