Aortic valve stenosis is a well-recognized valvular problem in the aging population. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is becoming an increasingly popular treatment alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for frail elderly individuals with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis. There are multiple research reports documenting the effectiveness of TAVI in octogenarians; however, few authors discuss the success of this procedure in nonagenarians. This case report depicts the successful transfemoral implantation of a prosthetic aortic valve in a 97-year-old man. Moreover, the current literature on TAVI outcomes in nonagenarians is reviewed.
主动脉瓣狭窄是老年人群中一种广为人知的瓣膜疾病。经导管主动脉瓣植入术（TAVI）正日益成为有症状的严重主动脉瓣狭窄的体弱老年患者替代外科主动脉瓣置换术的一种流行治疗方法。有多项研究报告记录了TAVI在八旬老人中的有效性；然而，很少有作者讨论该手术在九旬老人中的成功率。本病例报告描述了一名97岁男性经股动脉成功植入人工主动脉瓣的情况。此外，还对目前关于九旬老人TAVI结果的文献进行了综述。
