Common questions
What is TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement)?
TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a narrowed aortic valve without open-heart surgery. A new valve is delivered to the heart through a catheter, typically inserted through the groin, as an alternative for patients at high risk for traditional open-heart surgery.
What is a cerebral embolic protection device (CEPD) used for during TAVR?
A CEPD is used during TAVR to capture and deflect debris that may break loose during the procedure, helping to reduce the risk of stroke.
How does a cerebral embolic protection device work?
The device sits in the path of blood flow to the brain during TAVR, capturing and deflecting debris such as calcium, tissue, or blood clots that can be dislodged during valve replacement.
What are the benefits of using a CEPD during TAVR?
A CEPD is intended to reduce stroke risk associated with TAVR by preventing debris from entering the brain's circulation, supporting the overall safety of the procedure.
Who is a candidate for a cerebral embolic protection device during TAVR?
Patients undergoing TAVR, particularly those at higher risk for stroke or embolism, may be candidates for a CEPD. Your physician determines suitability based on individual medical history and procedure details.
