Abstract
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures frequently require a second arterial access to perform aortic root angiography. In recent times, there has been an increase in the use of unilateral access, however, the outcomes data are conflicting.
Methods: A systematic database search was conducted to retrieve studies comparing unilateral to bilateral access in TAVR. Risk ratios (RR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were pooled using the Mantel-Haenszel random-effects model. Outcomes of interest included minor vascular complications, major vascular complications, 30-day stroke, and 30-day all-cause mortality.
Results: Three studies with a total of 2,181 patients undergoing TAVR (unilateral 368, bilateral 1813) were included in this meta-analysis. Unilateral access was comparable to bilateral access for minor vascular complications (RR: 0.88; 95 % CI: 0.48-1.62), major vascular complications (RR: 0.61, 95 % CI: 0.14-2.75), stroke (RR: 0.95; 95 % CI: 0.42, 2.17) and all-cause mortality (RR: 0.52; 95 % CI: 0.04, 6.93).
Conclusion: Unilateral access for TAVR was associated with similar short-term outcomes and safety profiles compared to bilateral access for TAVR.
期刊介绍:
Indian Heart Journal (IHJ) is the official peer-reviewed open access journal of Cardiological Society of India and accepts articles for publication from across the globe. The journal aims to promote high quality research and serve as a platform for dissemination of scientific information in cardiology with particular focus on South Asia. The journal aims to publish cutting edge research in the field of clinical as well as non-clinical cardiology - including cardiovascular medicine and surgery. Some of the topics covered are Heart Failure, Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertension, Interventional Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Valvular Heart Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension and Infective Endocarditis. IHJ open access invites original research articles, research briefs, perspective, case reports, case vignette, cardiovascular images, cardiovascular graphics, research letters, correspondence, reader forum, and interesting photographs, for publication. IHJ open access also publishes theme-based special issues and abstracts of papers presented at the annual conference of the Cardiological Society of India.
