Midterm outcome of transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve replacement in low to intermediate risk patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

CONCLUSION: In patients at low to intermediate surgical risk, midterm clinical outcomes of TAVR were similar to SAVR in survival and stroke rate, superior in reducing life-threatening bleeding, acute kidney injury, and new-onset atrial fibrillation, but inferior in increasing permanent pacemaker implantation.
