Official Title: The Influence of Cerebral Protection on Neurocognitive Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

Brief Summary: Severe aortic stenosis is a common heart condition affecting elderly patients.Degeneration of the aortic valve (oneway valve between the heart and the aorta) causes high resistence to blood flow, resulting in strain on the heart and the potential for heart failure and death.Treatment of aortic stenosis has traditionally been with open heart surgery.A new procedure called transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) allows new aortic valves to be implanted through the femoral arteries, resulting in equivalent…
