Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Regurgitation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

ESC Heart FailPublished Systematic review and meta-analysis

Authors' conclusion

On-label devices showed significantly better safety and efficacy in terms of the success rate, PPI, greater-than-mild PVL, and 30 day mortality than off-label devices.
