Neurological Complications After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Review
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
- Outcome
- Neurological complications after TAVR
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Most strokes after TAVR likely embolic in origin; stroke incidence has decreased over time
- Conflicting results comparing stroke rates between TAVR and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), due to differences in diagnostic criteria and neurocognitive testing
- Silent cerebral ischemic lesions associated with decline in postoperative neurocognitive status after TAVR
- Risk of delirium and postoperative decline increased with nonfemoral access routes
