Meta-Analysis of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in patients at Low Surgical Risk.

CONCLUSIONS: in patients who are at low surgical risk, TAVI seems to be associated with equivalent mortality up to a median follow up of 2 years compared to SAVR. More data is required before TAVI can be routinely considered as an alternative for SAVR in low risk patients. PMID: 31566571 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
