  • Evolving Evidence for Cerebral Protection Devices in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

    Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized the treatment of symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). However, the benefits of TAVR are mitigated by the occurrence of stroke, which remains a major issue of this procedure, associated with increased mortality and early-reduced quality of life. Indeed, the PARTNER IIA trial reported a 30-day stroke rate of 5.5% after TAVR, confirming that procedure-related neurological events remain a significant concern even in lower-risk patients and with next-generation transcatheter heart valves.
