•Can this device prevent a stroke during a heart valve operation? New research shows potential benefit
78% Informative
Recently published research shows a medical device may be beneficial for patients who have previously had a stroke.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a less invasive procedure for patients with severe stenosis.
In roughly 1.5% to 2% of all cases, there is a stroke as a byproduct of the procedure.
The study population consisted of 414,649 patients.
Of those, 53,398 patients received an embolic protection device.
Overall, the data showed the use of the device was associated with a small, borderline significant reduction in disabling stroke -- a much smaller reduction than what the PROTECTED-TAVR trial found.
Neel M. Butala : "The overall efficacy of this device is still an unsolved problem".
