Stroke prevention during and after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: From cerebral protection devices to antithrombotic management.

ABSTRACT: Since its conception, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has undergone important improvements both in the implantation technique and in transcatheter devices, allowing an enthusiastic adoption of this therapeutic approach in a wide population of patients previously without a surgical option and managed conservatively.
