Stroke After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Incidence, Risk Factors, Prognosis, and Preventive Strategies
Key result
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with acute and subacute cerebrovascular accidents in 3% to 6% of patients, with 45% of these events occurring within 2 days post-procedure.

P
Population
Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
E
Exposure
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
O
Outcome
Incidence, pathophysiology, predictors, prognosis, and preventive strategies of cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs)safety
Stroke is a significant complication after TAVR, occurring in 3-6% of patients, with early events driven by procedural factors and late events by patient factors like atrial fibrillation.
Cite This Study
Mastoris et al. (2014) conducted a review in Stroke after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) was evaluated on Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs). Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with acute and subacute cerebrovascular accidents in 3% to 6% of patients, with 45% of these events occurring within 2 days post-procedure.
