Single or dual antiplatelet therapy after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: an updated systemic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggests that compared with DAPT, SAPT after TAVR is more likely to lead to a decline of 30-day mortality along with the reduced risk of bleeding and no increased risk of stroke. However, more clinical data and evidence from randomized controlled trials are warranted to clarify the optimal post-TAVR antiplatelet strategy. PMID: 31019786 [PubMed]
