Population

Design
Meta-analysis
Follow-up
within and after 30 days
Key result

Clinicians must address both cardiovascular and noncardiovascular risks like infection post-TAVR; extends evidence on balanced long-term mortality drivers.
Meta-Analysis
What are the specific causes of death within and after 30 days following TAVR?
Cardiovascular and noncardiovascular causes of death are evenly balanced after TAVR, with infection/sepsis and heart failure being the most frequent causes both early and late post-procedure.
Xiong et al. (2015) conducted a meta-analysis in High surgical risk patients requiring aortic valve replacement. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was evaluated on Causes of death within and after 30 days following TAVR. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) mortality is evenly balanced, with noncardiovascular causes accounting for 46.4% and 51.6% of deaths within and after 30 days, respectively.
