From our data, ECLS seems to be a valuable option to resuscitate patients with severe trauma when conventional therapies are insufficient. ECLS is safe, feasible, and effective in providing hemodynamic support and blood gas exchange.

We found a weak correlation between the CCI and well-established preoperative risks scores. The CCI had a moderate association with long-term mortality up-to 5-years post TAVI.

In patients 85 years and older, SAVR seems to offer good short- and mid-term clinical outcomes compared to TAVI. Advanced age alone would not be an indication for TAVI in old-old patients.
