Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic, mitral, pulmonary and tricuspid valve interventions
Methodological detailsLiterature review of highly cited or high Altmetric scoring articles published in the last five years
- Literature review of highly cited or high Altmetric scoring articles published in the last five years
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Little contemporary published evidence comparing or recommending anaesthetic techniques and describing their effect on peri-operative outcomes
- Wealth of evidence on outcomes in specific patient risk groups undergoing transcatheter procedures; trials focussed mainly on mortality and complications, received substantial industry funding and pooled adverse outcomes as a composite using frequentist non-inferiority methods
- Most real-world patients would likely be excluded from these trials
