Objective To compare the complications of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) between aortic valve stenosis (AS) patients ≥90 years and patients <90 years, and to explore the efficacy and safety of TAVR in AS patients ≥90 years.Methods Databases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, Medline, CNKI, Wanfang Data and China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc) were searched by computer from inception to May 2019. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and evaluated the quality of the included studies. RevMan 5.3 and Stata 15.0 were used for meta-analysis.Results A total of 12 cohort studies were included, including60 186 patients (11 350 patients ≥90 years and 48 836 patients <90 years). Meta-analysis showed that compared with the patients <90 years, those ≥90 years had higher all-cause mortality in the hospital (OR=1.51, 95%CI 1.37 to 1.66, P<0.000 01),on postoperative 30 d (OR=1.68, 95%CI 1.50 to 1.89, P<0.000 01) and at postoperative 1 year (OR=1.36, 95%CI 1.25 to 1.48, P<0.000 01), and had higher incidence of stroke (OR=1.31, 95%CI 1.18 to 1.46, P<0.000 01), bleeding events (OR=1.14, 95%CI 1.07 to 1.20, P<0.000 01) and vascular complications (OR=1.31, 95%CI 1.18 to 1.46, P<0.000 01). Conclusion All-cause mortality and the incidence of some complications after TAVR in AS patients ≥90 years are higher than those in patients <90 years, but this difference is clinically acceptable. Therefore, TAVR treatment is safe and effective for elderly patients.
