Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) are established interventions for alleviating symptoms and enhancing survival in individuals with severe aortic stenosis (AS). However, the long-term outcomes and incidence of reintervention associated with TAVI and SAVR remain uncertain.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the incidence of reintervention in TAVI versus SAVR.
