Non-inferiority study designs are frequently used in randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). However, the long-term outcomes of TAVR are unknown, and the concept of non-inferiority is challenging to define and assess.

The authors of this study conducted a systematic review of clinical outcomes after pediatric aortic valve repair (AVr) and examined life expectancy and risk of reintervention using microsimulation. The study included forty-one publications including 2,636 patients with 17,217 years of follow-up (median follow up was 7.3. years).
