Regarding stroke risk here is an editorial (Thanks to Stephen Freiberg for providing this link): http://circinterventions.ahajournals.org/content/8/6/e002801
And Dr. Tippett wanted to add that early studies of the 1st and second generation valves had higher stroke rates than SAVR, however the most current genreration valves(Edwards Sapien 3 and Medtronic Evolut R) both have been shown to have not significantly different stroke rates from TAVR.(Surtavi trial and this observational study http://thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(16)30073-3.pdf).
Finally, when discussing benefits of TAVR, we should have mentioned a significantly lower risk of post-op AFib in addition to lower bleeding risk and lower rates of AKI.
In this episode, episode 44, I welcome Dr. Megan Kostibas to the show. Dr. Kostibas is trained in cardiac anesthesia and critical care medicine and is an assistant professor here at Hopkins.
