Mechanisms of Embolic Complications During and After TAVI: Acute Risk Highest, and Likely Embolic Stortecky and Windecker, Circulation 2012; 126:2921
TAVI Cerebral Protection Risk and Benefit Considerations Across Surgical Risk Spectrum Risk of cerebral embolic injury likely similar for all severe AS Most emboli are created during crossing of the stenotic aortic valve, positioning and expanding the new valve1,2 Patients with severe AS have severely stenotic valves, by definition, regardless of surgical risk score (which has more to do with other health factors) Risk of cerebral embolic injury ≠ surgical operative mortality risk Benefit of cerebral protection may increase with lower-STS, younger patients Lower surgical risk, and younger, patients likely have longer life expectancies over which to benefit from reduced neurological injury (stroke and cognitive decline) Patients with higher cognitive function at baseline may be more likely to show decline4 Erdoes et al., EJCTS 2012;41: 778; 2.

What are Predictors of Stroke and Cerebral Damage in TAVI? Logistic EuroSCORE is NOT a predictor of stroke in TAVI1 Predictors of neurological events in TAVI studies have included: Transarterial vs Transapical access2 Post-dilatation and valve dislodgement3 Smaller indexed valve area4 Cerebrovascular disease4 Predictors of new cerebral damage (DW-MRI) in TAVI studies have included: Age, hyperlipidemia, post-dil5 Severity of atheroma (arch and descending), catheterization time, age6 Peak transaortic gradient5 Zeinah et al., ACTA 2015;December18:1 Eggebrecht et al., Eurointervention 2012;8:129 Nombela-Franco et al., Circulation 2012;126:3041 Miller et al., J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2012;143:832 Samim et al., Clin Res Cardiol 2015;104:430 Fairbairn et al., Heart 2012;98:18

SENTINEL Trial: Conclusions In high-risk patients undergoing TAVR, the Sentinel dual filter embolic protection device was associated with: A favorable safety profile: MACCE 7.3%, which was significantly below the historical goal Low major vascular complications (0.4%) Captured embolic debris in almost all patients (99%), consisting of diverse material A reduction in 30-day strokes from 9.1% to 5.6%, which was not statistically significant (study was not powered for MACE) Although there was a reduction in DW-MRI new lesion volume with embolic protection (by 42%), the primary efficacy endpoint was not met (p=0.33) However, after adjusting for potential confounders (baseline lesion volume and valve type), there was a significant reduction in new lesion volume in protected territories (p=0.02) with embolic protection.

Take Home Message: Sentinel trial and update in neuro-protection during TAVR/TAVI Major and minor strokes still occurs in 3-8% of TAVR procedures and silent brain lesions are very common (>80%). Long-term effect of even silent small brain lesions may have important implications when TAVR is done in young pts Sentinel trial using Claret cerebral-protection system (TEP) in high risk TAVR/TAVI procedure have shown device safety/success and numerically lower stroke rates & lower new brain lesions on MRI compared to no device group. Future studies need to focus the TEP device use in high risk and self expanding TAVR cases.
