Abstract: As the population life expectancy has increased, the typical diseases among elderly individuals have become more common. These include degenerative calcific aortic valve stenosis, which affects 3-5% of individuals older than 75. This is the most common valve disease among elderly individuals and, when it is severe, associated with comorbidities, presents high lethality. It is estimated that patients affected by aortic stenosis who present heart failure, stroke and angina pectoris have life expectancy shorter than two years.
