|
Oguri et al. [24] | 2014 | France | Comparing general and local anesthesia in TAVR procedures | Retrospective cohort study | (i) Cumulative 30-day mortality rates were significantly higher in the general anesthesia group, but no significant difference with propensity matching between the groups |

|
Gurevich et al. [22] | 2017 | USA | Comparing minimalist approach to the standard TAVR procedure | Retrospective cohort study | (i) A minimalist approach was associated with improved procedural efficiency and reduced hospital length of stay |
(ii) No statistical differences in procedural or clinical outcomes was noted between the groups |
|
Husser et al. [23] | 2017 | USA/Europe | Comparing general anesthesia and conscious sedation in TAVR procedures | Retrospective cohort study | (i) Fewer postprocedural outcomes were reported in the conscious sedation group |
|
Butala et al. [15] | 2020 | USA | Comparing general anesthesia and conscious sedation in TAVR procedures | Retrospective cohort study | (i) Conscious sedation was associated with a decrease in in-hospital mortality, lower 30-day mortality, less use of inotropic drugs, shorter length of hospital stay, and more frequent discharges |
|
Thiele et al. [10] | 2020 | Europe | Comparing general anesthesia and conscious sedation in TAVR procedures | Randomized clinical trial | (i) There was no statistical difference in all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, infection requiring antibiotic treatment, and acute kidney injury between the groups |
(ii) No statistical differences in the median length of ICU and hospital stay were noted between groups |
(iii) There was no significant difference in device time, total procedural time, occurrence of delirium, moderate or severe prosthetic valve regurgitation at 30 days, ICU stay, hospital stay, and cardiovascular mortality between the groups |
(iv) The need and dose of vasopressors and inotropes were statistically higher in the general anesthesia group |
|
Musuku et al. [19] | 2021 | USA | Comparing general anesthesia using a subglottic airway and monitored anesthesia care in TAVR procedures | Retrospective cohort study | (i) There was no significant difference between general anesthesia using subglottic airway and monitored anesthesia care in morbidity, 30-day mortality, and hospital or postanesthesia care unit length of stay |
