What is the incidence of cerebral infarction and its impact on quality of life following CoreValve TAVI in patients with aortic stenosis?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
CoreValve TAVI is associated with a high incidence (77%) of mostly silent cerebral infarcts, which are predicted by age and atheroma severity but do not appear to adversely affect short-term quality of life.
