Within the realm of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), stroke emerges as a recognized adverse event, manifesting at various stages during and after the procedure. Original article: Okuno et al. Previous studies extensively delved into short-term incidence, trends, and clinical outcomes related to TAVR-associated stroke.
