Local versus general anesthesia for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR)- systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
The hypothesis of this study was that local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is not harmful in comparison to general anesthesia (GA) for patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVR).TAVR is a rapidly spreading ...

Early intervention or watchful waiting for asymptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The management of patients with severe but asymptomatic aortic stenosis is challenging. Evidence on early aortic valve replacement (AVR) versus symptom-driven intervention in these patients is unknown.
