Stroke Risk & TAVR: New Insights for Patients

The stroke risk associated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is often referred to as an "Achilles heel" for this revolutionary and minimally-invasive procedure. To learn how doctors are actively managing the stroke risk during TAVR using cerebral protection systems, we interviewed Dr. Isaac George from NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. Durinig his extraordinary career, Dr. George has performed over 6,000 TAVR procedures. (Video posted on August 11, 2022)
