Acute STROke Complicating TAVI - Management and Outcomes

Management and Outcomes of Acute STROke Complicating Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Periprocedural complications of trans catheter aortic valve implantation, and particularly the occurrence of stroke has a marked impact on survival and quality of life. The characteristics of periprocedural stroke complicating TAVI, and particularly of interventions aimed to treat stroke complicating TAVI have not been systematically described. We therefore aimed is to explore the incidence and characteristics of acute stroke complicating TAVI and to describe the safety and efficacy of emergent interventions to treat acute stroke complicating TAVI.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients who have had a stroke within 30 days of TAVI

Exclusion Criteria:

• none
