Transcatheter aortic valve implantation compared with surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with anaemia.
We compared the outcome of anaemic patients undergoing transcatheter (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for severe aortic valve stenosis. ⋯ These results suggest that TAVI is not superior to SAVR in patients with anaemia.
