Clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients younger than 70 years rejected for surgery: the AMTRAC registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The mean age of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients is steadily decreasing.

Aims

The aim of the study was to describe the characteristics, the indications for and the outcomes of TAVI in patients <70 years old.

Methods

All patients undergoing TAVI (n=8,626) from the 18 participating centres between January 2007 and June 2020 were stratified by age (70). For patients <70, the indications for TAVI were extracted from Heart Team discussions and the baseline characteristics and mortality were compared between the two groups.

Results

Overall, 640 (7.4%) patients were <70 (9.1% during 2018-2020, p<0.001); the mean age was 65.0±2.3 years. The younger patients were more often male, with bicuspid valves or needing valve-in-valve procedu
