Late adverse cerebrovascular events follow 5% of TAVRs
Disabling ischaemic stroke more than 30 days post-procedure occurs most frequently, find researchers
More than 30 days after transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR), 5% of patients experience stroke or TIA, with most of the strokes being disabling, a study shows.
Researchers studied 3750 patients in centres in Canada, France and Spain with a mean age of 80 who underwent TAVR and survived beyond 30 days.
