Experts are dismayed, disappointed, and confused, but many say this isn’t the end of cerebral embolic protection for TAVI.

Transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI) is associated with procedure-related stroke. Cerebral embolic protection (CEP) devices may reduce embolization to the cerebral circulation and hence ...

Risk for symptomatic embolism can be predicted via echocardiographic vegetation features in patients with infective endocarditis.

Cerebral embolic protection (CEP) devices are designed to stop this debris reaching the brain, and they have been suggested as a solution to reduce stroke risk for TAVI patients. However, evidence ...

Researchers have found in a new study that oral anticoagulants OAC-naive patients experienced a smaller increase in stroke or ...
