Article 1: Impact of Cerebral Embolic Protection On Cognitive Function Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Data From the BHF PROTECT-TAVI Randomized Trial.
Journal: Circulation
PubMed Link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40884786
Summary: The PROTECT-TAVI trial found that cerebral embolic protection during TAVI did not significantly improve overall cognitive function at one year compared to TAVI alone. Although the study didn’t show a significant cognitive benefit, it underscores the ongoing need to refine embolic protection strategies for vulnerable TAVI patients.
