Cerebral Infarction after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Japan: Retrospective Analysis at a Single High-Volume Center
Perioperative cerebral infarction is one of the concerning complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with aortic stenosis. Several studies have reported on this complication; however, those included only Caucasians and analyzed a small number of cases.
