However, data on its efficacy and safety remain limited. The present study assessed the efficacy and safety of the Venus A valve in Chinese patients undergoing TAVR.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n A single-arm meta-analysis was performed, and relevant studies were systematically retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library,\n ClinicalTrials.gov<\/jats:ext-link>\n , and Google Scholar from inception until 1 June 2022. Domestic libraries were not searched due to data overlap. All study types evaluating the Venus A valve were considered for inclusion, except case reports or reviews. Non-English language studies or those without corresponding data were excluded. The Newcastle\u2013Ottawa scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the included retrospective studies, and the methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS) was used to assess the included non-randomized study (single-arm study). The random-effects model was used to calculate the combined proportion and 95% confidence interval (CI) when\n I<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n was &gt;50%; otherwise, a fixed-effect model was used. Publication bias was assessed using the Egger test, with\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&lt;\u20090.05 indicating potential bias.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n This meta-analysis included 15 studies involving 1,144 Chinese patients who underwent TAVR with a Venus A valve. The device\/procedure success rate was 90%. The mean transvalvular gradient decreased from 58.52 to 10.85\u2005mmHg, and the peak jet velocity decreased from 4.86 s to 2.23\u2005m\/s. At the 30-day follow-up evaluation, the all-cause mortality rate was 3%. The requirement for a second valve accounted for 12% of cases. Major vascular complications were uncommon, as were major bleeding, stroke, acute kidney injuries, and new-onset atrial fibrillation. At the 1-year follow-up evaluation, the all-cause mortality rate was 7%. The incidence of new permanent pacemaker implantation in patients with bicuspid aortic valves was 16%, and the all-cause mortality rate was 8% at the 30-day follow-up evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Despite its relatively high requirement for a second valve, the Venus A valve is feasible for Chinese patients undergoing TAVR. Its effectiveness and safety were demonstrated by a high device\/procedure success rate, immediate hemodynamic improvement, and low incidence of complications.<\/jats:p>\n
