Clinical Trial: Cerebral Microembolization During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Comparing Balloon-expandable and Self-expanding Valves

U.S., May 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07614100) titled 'Cerebral Microembolization During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Comparing Balloon-expandable and Self-expanding Valves' on May 16.

Brief Summary: This study will compare the amount of cerebral microembolization during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) between two commonly used types of transcatheter aortic valves: balloon-expandable valves and self-expanding valves.

Cerebral microembolization refers to small particles or material that may travel to the brain during the procedure. These signals can be detected using transcranial Doppler ultrasound, a non-invasive method for monitoring blood flow in the brain. ...
