Early Identification and Successful Thrombectomy in a Patient With Acute Cerebral Infarction Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)is one of the most important guideline-recommended procedures for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.Acute cerebral infarction is a serious complication after TAVR,with a high incidence rate and may significantly affect patient prognosis and quality of life.Thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy are standard treatments for acute cerebral infarction recommended by guidelines,but evidence of their efficacy and safety in patients undergoing TAVR is limited.We report a patient with acute cerebral infarction after TAVR,who were treated with emergency cerebral angiography and successful transcatheter thrombectomy.
