  Objectives: Our aim was to compare available Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) valves using direct and indirect evidence from Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT). Background: TAVR is now an established treatment for majority of patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, there is limited data comparing various valves. Methods: We performed a systematic search of electronic databases for RCT comparing a TAVR valve to a valve or surgery. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to compile evidence from both direct and indirect comparisons at 30 days and at one year. Results: Twelve studies with 10,307 patients eligible for TAVR met the criteria and were included. Self-expanding Valve Core valve type (SEV_C) is associated with higher risk of pacemaker implantation and use.. Read More»
