Abstract
Aortic valve replacement for severe aortic valve stenosis can be done with less than predicted operative risk in nonagenarian patients. However, transfemoral SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve transcatheter AVR should be undertaken with caution because of increased risk of vascular injury. Aortic valve replacement should not be denied in select patients.
