Importance

Reducing postprocedural stroke is important to improve the safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Objective

Retrospective cohort study including 101 430 patients who were treated with femoral and nonfemoral TAVR at 521 US hospitals in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapies Registry from November 9, 2011, through May 31, 2017.
