Abstract

Objectives: To compare the in-hospital outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in nonagenarians. Background: Data comparing the outcomes of TAVR versus SAVR in nonagenarians are limited. Methods: Using the National Inpatient Sample years 2012–2014, hospitalization data were retrieved for subjects aged ≥90 years who underwent TAVR or SAVR for severe aortic stenosis. The incidence of in-hospital mortality and peri-procedural outcomes were compared using unadjusted, multivariate logistic regression, and propensity score matched analyses. Results: The final cohort included 6,680 records of nonagenarians undergoing aortic valve replacement, among which 5,840 (87.4%) underwent TAVR. There was no difference in the incidence of in-hospital mortality between both groups in the unadjusted (5.8% versus 6.0% P = 0.95), multivariate (odds ratio [OR] 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.35–1.74), and propensity score matched (OR 1.07, 95% CI 0.75–1.51) analyses. In the propensity-matched analysis, TAVR was associated with a lower incidence of acute kidney injury (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.47–0.72), post-operative blood transfusion (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.43–0.61), a higher likelihood of discharge to home (OR 4.71, 95% 3.44–5.06), and a similar incidence of pacemaker placement (OR 1.16, 95% 0.89–1.53) and stroke (OR 1.34, 0.90–1.99). Conclusions: In this nationwide analysis, TAVR was associated with an overall similar incidence of in-hospital mortality and less morbidity compared with SAVR. These findings suggest that TAVR is effective and safe in nonagenarians.
