TCT-43 First-in-human experience of a novel transradial device for embolic deflection during transcatheter aortic valve replacement
The average stroke rate in contemporary transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) studies is 4.4%. The majority of the TAVR studies are non-randomized registries, hence, neurological outcomes may be underreported. Over 50% of all TAVR related strokes occur during the procedure or on the same day
Recommendations for Multimodal Noninvasive and Invasive Screening for Detection of Extracranial Venous Abnormalities Indicative of Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency: A Position Statement of the International Society for Neurovascular Disease
Under the auspices of the International Society for Neurovascular Disease (ISNVD), four expert panel committees were created from the ISNVD membership between 2011 and 2012 to determine and standardize noninvasive and invasive imaging protocols for detection of extracranial venous abnormalities indicative of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI). The committees created working groups on color Doppler ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, catheter venography (CV), and intravascular US. Each group organized a workshop focused on its assigned imaging modality. Non-ISNVD members from other societies were invited to contribute to the various workshops. More than 60 neuro…
