Abstract

Aortic stenosis is the most common primary valvular heart disease in both Europe and North America. In patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, early surgical treatment is recommended because of the very poor prognosis and the lack of effect of conservative treatment on the natural course of this heart defect. The primary treatment options for severe aortic stenosis are surgical aortic valve replacement and transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Complication rates between therapeutic procedures used vary according to the group to which the patient has been assigned by health care professionals on the basis of the risk of possible complications or mortality. Neurological symptoms that are consequences of transcatheter aortic valve implantation remain a major challenge for providers. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of neurological complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. (JNNN 2024;13(1):36–41)
