Why the study?
Does the type of THV platform or the act of THV repositioning affect the amount of debris captured by cerebral embolic protection filters during TAVI?
Population

THV repositioning may increase embolic debris risk during TAVI; leaves open whether platform choice affects capture.
Does the type of THV platform or the act of THV repositioning affect the amount of debris captured by cerebral embolic protection filters during TAVI?
During TAVI, the choice of THV platform does not significantly affect the amount of embolic debris, but valve repositioning increases the risk of dislodging debris to the brain.
