Abstract 8962: Meta-Meta-Analysis of Outcomes of Valve-in-Valve TAVI Compared to Redo-SAVR

Abstract

Introduction: Redo-Surgical valve replacement (Redo-SAVR) is the gold standard treatment for failed degenerated bioprosthetic valves. Recently approved less invasive Valve-In-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (ViV-TAVI) procedure is becoming more popular but with limited evidence of its safety and efficacy compared to redo-SAVR. Hypothesis: We aimed to conduct the meta-meta analysis to evaluate the outcomes of ViV-TAVI compared to redo-SAVR. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of meta-analysis studies assessing outcomes of ViV-TAVR vs redo-SAVR using PubMed search engine and following PRISMA guidelines from inception to May 2021. A meta-meta-analysis was performed by obtaining a pooled odds ratio, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) using random-effects models to analyze outcomes of 30-day all-cause mortality and procedural mortality. Results: Nine meta-analysis studies were included. We found that there was a significantly lower odds of 30-day all-cause mortality (pooled OR:0.60; 95%CI:0.53-0.68; p<0.00001) with 0% heterogeneity (I2= 0%;p=0.53) in the ViV-TAVI compared to redo-SAVR. We also found a reduced risk of procedural mortality with ViV-TAVI compared to redo-SAVR (pooled OR:0.52; 95%CI:0.27-0.98; p=0.04) with 0% heterogeneity (I2= 0%;p=0.69) (Figure). Conclusions: ViV-TAVI is significantly associated with reduced risk of 30-day all-cause mortality, and procedural mortality compared to redo-SAVR. Our meta-meta-analysis supports that minimally invasive ViV-TAVI is a safe and better procedure for degenerated bioprosthetic valves in high-risk candidates.
