Article Synopsis
- This meta-analysis investigates the potential advantages of transcarotid (TC-TAVR) access over transfemoral (TF-TAVR) access for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
- The study reviewed seven adjusted studies from PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane Library, involving 6609 patients, with 5048 receiving TF-TAVR and 1561 receiving TC-TAVR.
- Findings show no significant differences in mortality, major bleeding, or stroke/transient ischemic attack between the two methods, though TC-TAVR had a lower risk of vascular complications, suggesting it could be a feasible alternative to TF-TAVR.
