Stroke prevention in TAVR: A patient‐tailored approach may be needed

The study by Gorla et al. confirms that the incidence of clinically overt stroke is low in contemporary, real‐world transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) practice. Patients at increased risk for TAVR‐related stroke may be identified based on baseline risk factors. Randomized trials in select...

Patients at increased risk for TAVR‐related stroke may be identified based on baseline risk factors. Randomized trials in selected TAVR patients at increased risk for stroke should evaluate patient‐tailored preventive measures.
