Outcomes of surgical versus transcatheter aortic valve replacement in nonagenarians- a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Since the approval of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), nonagenarian group patients are being increasingly considered for TAVR. Therefore, we compared the clinical outcomes of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) vs TAVR in nonagenarians with severe aortic stenosis. Methods: A literature search was performed using MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Clinicaltrials.gov for studies reporting the comparative outcomes of TAVR versus SAVR in nonagenarians. The primary endpoint was short-term mortality. Secondary endpoints were post-operative incidences of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), vascular complications, acute kidney injury (AKI), transfusion requirement, and length of hospital stay. Results: Four retrospective stud
