Objective  To search and review the best clinical evidence to compare the clinical therapeutic effects and safety between TAVR and SAVR, thereby guiding its clinical use and providing references of treatments for such patients. Methods  EMbase (1974~2016), MEDLINE (1996~2016) and The Cochrane Library (Issue 5, 2016) were systematically retrieved to collect randomized control trials, case-control studies and meta-analyses. Then, we assessed the quality of all the evidences to develop treatments based on those evidences and the situations of such patients. Results  We identified 21 articles, including 2 articles of meta-analysis. With regard to the mortality and incidence of cardiovascular events, TAVR was not worse than SAVR. In addition, TAVR was more dominant than SAVR for patients who combined more basic diseases. Conclusion  TAVR is one of the effective treatments for most patients with severe AS after sufficient assessment.
