Stroke is a known complication of both transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and carotid artery stenosis (CAS). Whether CAS is a predictor of worse prognosis after TAVI is unclear. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the impact of CAS on the incidence of neurovascular complications and mortality after TAVI. We searched PubMed/ MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from inception to January 2023. CAS was defined by ≥50% stenosis of at least 1 carotid artery. Studies comparing CAS versus non-CAS TAVI populations were included. Patients’ baseline characteristics and 30-day clinical outcomes were extracted. End points included the 30-day incidence of neurovascular complications (stroke or transient ischemic attack) and 30-day all-cause mortality. We identified six studies, totaling 6,763 patients in the CAS group and 23,861 patients in the non-CAS group. Patients with CAS had a higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dys- lipidemia, previous myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft, peripheral artery disease, previous neurovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. There was no significant difference in the rates of 30-day neurovascular complications between CAS and non- CAS groups (relative risk 1.23, 95% confidence interval 0.63 to 2.40, p = 0.54). CAS was associated with a higher risk of 30-day all-cause mortality (relative risk 1.28, 95% confidence interval 1.12 to 1.47, p <0.001), not found in a sensitivity analysis. In conclusion, patients with CAS presented with a significantly higher co-morbidity burden. CAS was not associated with an increased risk of 30-day neurovascular complications. 30-day mortality was higher in the CAS group but that may be a surrogate of the heavy co-morbidity burden of patients with CAS.
