Association between surgical risk and 30‐day stroke after transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve replacement: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Background Stroke is a feared complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Objectives With this meta‐analysis we aimed to evaluate the incidence of 30‐day stroke with TAVR and SAVR focusing on its possible correlation with surgical risk.
