Key result
Systematic review protocol comparing TAVR to SAVR and OMT is withdrawn and merged.
Why the study?
Does transcatheter valve implantation improve outcomes compared to optimal medical treatment and surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic valve stenosis?
Systematic Review
Does transcatheter valve implantation improve outcomes compared to optimal medical treatment and surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic valve stenosis?
This is a withdrawn protocol that has been merged with another Cochrane protocol.
Protocol withdrawal leaves TAVR vs SAVR vs medical therapy synthesis open; merged review may consolidate evidence.
Authors have made no progress with this protocol. No new authors are being sought to take over this protocol as this protocol has been merged with another protocol (Vilela AT, Grande AJ, Palma JH, Buffolo E, Riera R. Transcatheter valve implantation versus aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis in high‐risk patients (Protocol). Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2013, Issue 1. Art. No.: CD010304. DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD010304).

Thyregod et al. (2015) conducted a systematic review in Aortic valve stenosis. Transcatheter valve implantation vs. Optimal medical treatment and surgical aortic valve replacement was evaluated. This protocol for a systematic review of transcatheter versus optimal medical treatment and surgical aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis has been withdrawn and merged with another protocol.
