Key result
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement demonstrated a similar incidence of post-procedural stroke compared to surgical aortic valve replacement across multiple trials, with cerebral embolic protection devices showing potential to decrease cerebral lesions.
Why the study?
Does TAVR compared to SAVR, and the use of cerebral embolic protection devices, affect post-procedural stroke rates in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
Does TAVR compared to SAVR, and the use of cerebral embolic protection devices, affect post-procedural stroke rates in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
This review highlights that while TAVR and SAVR share similar stroke risks, the use of cerebral embolic protection devices during TAVR can reduce the burden of procedural cerebral embolization.

Similar stroke risk with TAVR versus SAVR; leaves open cerebral protection benefit in routine use.
Burke et al. (2018) conducted a review in Aortic stenosis. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) vs. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was evaluated on Post-procedural stroke rate. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement demonstrated a similar incidence of post-procedural stroke compared to surgical aortic valve replacement across multiple trials, with cerebral embolic protection devices showing potential to decrease cerebral lesions.
