Stroke is a devastating complication in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We sought to determine whether early stroke intervention after TAVR would improve the neurological outcomes. Two patients experienced stroke immediately after TAVR, one treated with mechanical thrombectomy and localized lytic therapy and one treated with systemic lytic therapy. Our limited experience showed that early stroke intervention with either treatment option may reduce the risk of complications and improve neurological outcomes.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
