Evaluation of Cognitive Function Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with procedural-related neurological events and acute cognitive decline.

Therefore, we aimed to assess the impact of TAVR on mid-term cognitive outcome using different neurocognitive test batteries.
