Objectives
To determine whether concomitant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with increased mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic‐valve implantation (TAVI), we performed a meta‐analysis of currently available studies.
Methods
MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched through May 2018. We included comparative or cohort studies enrolling patients with AS undergoing TAVI and reporting early (in‐hospital or 30‐day) and late (including early) all‐cause mortality in patients stratified by baseline TR grade. An odds ratio (OR) of early mortality and a hazard ratio (HR) of late mortality with its 95% CI for significant versus non‐significant (typically, ≥moderate versus
