Mortality in Low-Risk Patients With Aortic Stenosis Undergoing Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement: A Reconstructed Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis

Celik et al. present a meta-analysis regarding the outcome of TAVI implantation with respect to the survival six years after the implantation and compared it to the outcome of surgical aortic valve replacement. In their reconstructed individual patient data analysis, they found a significant higher 5-year mortality rate in TAVI patients compared to surgical aortic valve replacement.
