Key result
This review summarizes currently available cerebral embolic protection devices and the evidence for peri-procedural stroke prevention during transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Why the study?
Ischemic brain injury related to embolization after TAVR has gained attention as new embolic protection strategies and diverse cerebral protection devices have emerged.
This review summarizes the evidence and currently available devices for cerebral embolic protection to prevent peri-procedural stroke during TAVR.
Evidence on cerebral embolic protection devices in TAVR remains inconclusive; leaves open the need for definitive randomized trials.
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.
