Cerebral Embolic Risk in Coronary and Structural Heart Interventions: Clinical Evidence.

ABSTRACT: Surgical and endovascular procedures for coronary and structural heart interventions carry a meaningful risk of acute stroke with greatly increased likelihood of disability and long-term neurocognitive sequelae. In the last decade, transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures have focused our attention on a spectrum of procedure-related neurologic injuries that have led to various efforts to prevent ischemic injury with the use of embolic protection devices. As the number of patients undergoing surgical and transcatheter cardiac procedures in the United States continues to increase, the risk of iatrogenic brain injury is concerning, particularly in patient populations already at increased risk of thromboembolism and cognitive decline. In this study, we reviewed the current estimates o
