About

Although aortic valve replacement is recommended for any symptomatic severe calcific aortic stenosis, the therapeutic decision may be difficult. because of patient age and comorbidities.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has recently extended the therapeutic indications in patients at high risk of surgery. However, the proportion of different treatments is not known in a contemporary population that can be treated according to the different resources currently available.

The scientific goal of this observational research is to evaluate intra-hospital therapeutic decision in elderly patients referred because of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis.

The one-year survival will be analyzed according to the therapeutic decision and the characteristics of the patients.
