Popis: There is conflicting evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures in patients with severe aortic stenosis and low left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). The primary aim of this study was to determine the impact of TAVI on short- and long-term mortality in patients with low EF (EF50%); the secondary aim was to analyze the impact of TAVI procedure on EF recovery in the same setting of patients.Twenty-six studies enrolling 6898 patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI procedure were included in the meta-analysis and analyzed for 30-day, 6-month and 1-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality; a further meta-analysis was also performed in patients with low EF to assess EF changes post TAVI. In low EF patients, both all-cause and cardiovascular short- and long-term mortality were significantly higher when compared to patients with normal EF (30-day-all-cause mortality: 0.13; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.01 to 0.25, I(2)=49.65, Q=21.85; 1-year-all-cause mortality: 0.25; 95% [CI]: 0.16 to 0.34, I(2)=25.57, Q=16.12; 30-day-cardiovascular mortality: 0.03; 95% [CI]: -0.31 to 0.36, I(2)=66.84, Q=6.03; 1-year-cardiovascular mortality: 0.29; 95% [CI]: 0.12 to 0.45, I(2)=0.00, Q=1.88). Nevertheless, in low EF patients TAVI was associated with a significant recovery of EF, which started at discharge and proceeded up to 1-year-follow-up.Patients with low EF severe aortic stenosis have higher mortality following TAVI compared to normal EF patients, despite a significant and sustained improvement in EF.
