This review summarizes currently available cerebral embolic protection devices and the evidence for peri-procedural stroke prevention during transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
This review summarizes the evidence and currently available devices for cerebral embolic protection to prevent peri-procedural stroke during TAVR.
In the recent years, ischemic brain injury related to embolization after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has received increased attention as new embolic protection strategies emerged to protect the brain. Diverse cerebral protection devices have been developed to reduce cerebral embolization during TAVR. These devices work through various mechanisms and are in different stages of clinical translation. This review provides the evidence-based review of peri-procedural stroke prevention during TAVR and summarizes currently available cerebral embolic protection devices.
Gąsior et al. (Thu,) conducted a review in Ischemic brain injury related to embolization after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Cerebral embolic protection devices was evaluated. This review summarizes currently available cerebral embolic protection devices and the evidence for peri-procedural stroke prevention during transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
