December 03, 2018 Current Cerebral Embolic Protection Landscape
Keystone Heart TriGUARD Data Review
Jeffrey Moses
Conclusions:
- Overt and Covert stroke are significant complications of TAVR which may be of greater consequence as we move in to lower risk, younger populations
- The weight of evidence indicates that CEP reduces these events
- By covering al 3 cerebral vessels TriGuard cerebral embolic protection may further reduce risk form that seen in SENTINEL
- TriGuard cerebral protection is safe and does not add procedural risk
- Phase 2 of REFLECT is underway and hopefully will give us definitive evidence of clinical efficacy
