In ‐hospital outcomes of transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve replacement in non‐teaching hospitals
ConclusionsTAVR conferred similar in ‐hospital mortality and major peri‐procedural complications compared with SAVR in non‐teaching hospitals. For those with limited access to teaching hospitals, non‐teaching hospitals appear to be a reasonable option for candidates of aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis.

Transubclavian approach: A competitive access for transcatheter aortic valve implantation as compared to transfemoral
ConclusionsOur study suggests that TSc approach may be, not only an alternative route to TF approach for TAVI, but even a competitive one in certain patients with increased risk of femoral injury.

Comparative outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in African American and Caucasian patients with severe aortic stenosis
ConclusionsThere was no significant difference in the utilization rates, in‐hospital outcomes, and cost of TAVR between Caucasians and AA patients in contemporary US practice. Further comparative studies of surgical and TAVR in AAs and other racial minorities are warranted.

End ‐stage renal disease and severe aortic stenosis: Does valve replacement improve one‐year outcomes?
ConclusionsPatients with ESRD and severe AS have a similar and higher survival with TAVR or SAVR when compared to BAV at 1‐year. These results may influence patient care decisions favoring valve replacement in AS patients with ESRD. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a cohort of patients with end‐stage renal disease
ConclusionsPatients with ESRD who undergo TAVR are at high risk for mortality and complications. TAVR outcomes are comparable to but not substantially better than those with SAVR. Transfemoral TAVR seems to be at least as safe and effective as the current standard SAVR in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Impact of postoperative acute kidney injury on clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: A meta‐analysis of 5,971 patients
ConclusionsPostoperative AKI seems to significantly worsen TAVI prognosis. The results of the present meta‐analysis should be considered hypothesis‐generating and future studies on risk stratification, prevention, and postoperative management are needed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Impact of postoperative acute kidney injury on clinical outcomes after TAVI: A meta‐analysis of 5,971 patients
Conclusions: Postoperative AKI seems to significantly worsen TAVI prognosis. The results of the present meta‐analysis should be considered hypothesis‐generating and future studies on risk stratification, prevention and postoperative management are needed.
