Comparison of postoperative outcomes following multidetector computed tomography based vs transesophageal echocardiography based annulus sizing for transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the difference in postoperative outcomes following multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)-based annulus sizing for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Methods

Electronic search of PubMed, Biomed Central, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases was conducted until August 15, 2019. We included all types of studies comparing MDCT-based annulus sizing with TEE-based annulus sizing and assessing paravalvular regurgitation (PVR). Data were summarized using the Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results

A total of six studies were included. Pooled analysis of 431 participants in the MDCT group and 509 participants in the TEE group demonst
