After having performed angioplasty in coronary and peripheral vascular disease with excellent results, carotid angioplasty was thought to be an opportunity to simplify the treatment of carotid stenosis. Up until then there was no apparent reason to protect patients against distal embolisation. With the development of carotid angioplasty and stenting, prevention of distal embolisation of… View more

Catheter-based vascular interventions continue to evolve as new devices continue to expand the capabilities of interventionalists and improve patient safety. The importance of athero-embolisation during vascular intervention has long been recognised.1 Embolic protection devices (EPDs) were developed to help prevent embolisation during endovascular procedures. The risk of distal embolisation is… View more

Cerebral Embolic Protection in TAVI
Author(s): Michael Teitelbaum , Rafail Kotronias , Luciano A Sposato , et al Added: 3 years ago
Since its introduction in 2002, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has provided an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients considered inoperable or either at high or intermediate risk for SAVR.1 However, one of the most feared complications of TAVI are cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) including stroke or transient ischaemic attack. Further to this, TAVI… View more

The importance of embolisation in atherosclerotic vascular disease has recently undergone a major change in mindset. In the 1990s, it was considered a rare event confined to degenerated and aged saphenous vein grafts (SVGs). Lately, however, embolisation has become a major issue to contend with, not only in SVG but in all carotid artery stenting, in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and in… View more

Atherosclerotic renal artery stentosis (RAS) is a frequently recognised cause of secondary hypertension and chronic kidney disease.1–4 Revascularisation of RAS with angioplasty and stenting is often performed with the goals of improved blood pressure control and preserving or improving renal function.5 However, renal artery stenting is sometimes associated with acute worsening of renal function.6… View more

Over the past decade, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the treatment of choice for elderly patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis at high risk for death or complications with conventional surgical aortic valve replacement.1–4 Recent studies and clinical practice confirmed TAVI feasibility in patients with a lower risk profile who are typically younger and have a… View more
