Today, 80 is the new 70
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients in their 70s and 80s showed comparable quality-of-life (QoL) improvements and clinical benefits1
Clinical evidence
Sustained durability of TAVI
Current durability evidence for TAVI valves supports the ESC/EACTS recommendation: TF-TAVI as preferred mode of intervention in patients ≥75 years of age**, as well as for additional patient groups < 75 years of age1
**Based on evaluation of clinical, anatomical and procedural factors
Mean Aortic Valve Gradient, PARTNER II A2†
TAVI has shown similar outcomes to surgery (SAVR) across key durability parameters:
- With up to 5 years follow-up data of SAPIEN 3 TAVI versus SAVR2
- Up to 10 years of evidence from Real-World observational studies3
Latest developments
Age has become a key factor in determining if a TAVI procedure is relevant for each AS patient. Find out more about the clinical evidence.

Edwards TAVI study compendium
In-depth summary of the key Edwards Lifescience TAVI studies.
†Violin plots have become the new standard for representing echocardiographic data. Like box plots they show the distribution of the data, with the addition of the density of the data at different values.4
