Authors' recommendations:
In follow-up longer than 12 months, findings support the use of TAVR as an alternative to conventional surgery in selected high-risk patients with aortic stenosis, with similar clinical outcomes such as mortality and re-hospitalization rates, neurologic events, and myocardial infarction. Major vascular complications and neurologic events were more frequent with TAVR. The two methods, TAVR and SAVR, had similar echocardiographic hemodynamic findings. Compared with standard treatment, TAVR was superior with regards to long term clinical outcomes and improved symptoms. A meta-analysis of larger trials with sensitivity analyses on study design, sample size, baseline characteristics, and surgeons experience is needed to reconfirm the findings.
