Abstract
Transfemoral Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TF-TAVR) is a safe alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Protamine is used to reverse heparin and reduce post-TAVR bleeding, but concerns about risks like valve thrombosis and stroke remain. This systematic review and meta-analysis, following PRISMA guidelines, found no statistically significant difference in major bleeding complications between the protamine and control groups [(3.0 % vs. 14.4 %); RR: 0.56; P = 0.16]. No differences were noted in life-threatening bleeding, blood transfusions, 30-day mortality, or stroke. Protamine appears safe post-TAVR without increasing stroke risk, but its effectiveness in reducing bleeding needs further investigation through a multicentric randomized study.
期刊介绍：
Indian Heart Journal (IHJ) is the official peer-reviewed open access journal of Cardiological Society of India and accepts articles for publication from across the globe. The journal aims to promote high quality research and serve as a platform for dissemination of scientific information in cardiology with particular focus on South Asia. The journal aims to publish cutting edge research in the field of clinical as well as non-clinical cardiology - including cardiovascular medicine and surgery. Some of the topics covered are Heart Failure, Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertension, Interventional Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Valvular Heart Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension and Infective Endocarditis. IHJ open access invites original research articles, research briefs, perspective, case reports, case vignette, cardiovascular images, cardiovascular graphics, research letters, correspondence, reader forum, and interesting photographs, for publication. IHJ open access also publishes theme-based special issues and abstracts of papers presented at the annual conference of the Cardiological Society of India.
