- Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is often favored over surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients with severe aortic stenosis and significant surgical risks, especially among obese individuals.
- A systematic review of 5 studies involving 16,161 patients found that TAVI is associated with lower in-hospital mortality, fewer cases of acute kidney injury, and shorter hospital stays compared to SAVR.
- However, TAVI had higher rates of permanent pacemaker implantation and major vascular complications, indicating that while TAVI is generally beneficial for obese patients, a tailored approach to treatment is essential for optimal results.
