  Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a frequent perioperative complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) associated with significant morbidity and mortality in comparison to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Objectives: This meta-analysis aims to assess the periprocedural incidence of MI, along with its risk factors in adult patients undergoing TAVR and SAVR due to severe aortic stenosis. Methods: A systematic literature review of the major electronic databases was performed to identify relevant articles published from January 2007 to September 2017. A meta-analysis was performed to quantify the incidence and prognostic factors for periprocedural MI following TAVR via “Review Manager (REVMAN) 5.3 Copenhagen”. Results: A total of 32 studies with a combine.. View More»
