Population

I
Intervention
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the self-expanding CoreValve bioprosthesis
O
Outcome
Stroke at 1 yearhard clinical
Early stroke after TAVR is predicted by clinical and procedural factors, whereas late stroke is predicted by patient characteristics, highlighting the need for refined patient selection and procedural management.
