They are associated with significant mortality, morbidity, and reduced quality of life and impose a significant burden to health care systems. Although the rates of clinical stroke have reduced since the advent of TAVR, it remains an important complication, particularly as TAVR is increasingly utilized. CVE may occur at the time of the TAVR, as a direct consequence of the procedure, or may occur later, related to thrombosis of the prosthetic valve, atrial fibrillation, and other comorbidities. Imaging of the brain has revealed a high prevalence of subclinical cerebral infarcts (68%-98%) associated with the TAVR procedure. Although their clinical significance has not been fully established, clinically evident CVE ranges between 3% and 5% in patients considered at high operative risk to between 1% and 3% in low operative risk patients. Periprocedural CVEs are largely the result of embolization of the thrombus and tissue derived from the valve, vasculature, or myocardium. Cerebral embolic protection devices have been studied in multiple trials, with some evidence supporting a reduction in new cerebral lesion volume, number, and potentially disabling strokes. However, thus far, there is no robust evidence that they reduce the overall stroke rate. The number and severity of comorbidities, in particular, new-onset atrial fibrillation, are associated with CVEs. Valve thrombosis diagnosed using computed tomography as areas of hypoattenuated leaflet thickening has been identified in 10% to 15% of patients. This is a dynamic process associated with an increase in CVEs, but that resolves with anticoagulation or sometimes without it. Routine use of anticoagulation compared with a single antiplatelet agent is associated with an increased risk of bleeding, without any additional alleviation in risk of thromboembolism. Future studies to improve risk stratification could facilitate the tailoring of preventive therapies to patients at high risk of CVE, who stand to gain the most benefit.</p>","PeriodicalId":21989,"journal":{"name":"Stroke","volume":" ","pages":"2754-2764"},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142381661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the number of stroke-related RCTs published every year has grown exponentially over the past 25 years, the execution and completion of RCTs, particularly those conducted in a hyperacute setting, have grown more complicated and challenging over the years. In addition to the practical challenges associated with conducting a clinical trial, like obtaining human subjects approval, identifying clinical sites, training trial personnel, and enrolling the target number of patients within the available funding and timeline, the complexity of contemporary RCT designs and analyses has become much more exacting. It is no longer sufficient to have a decent understanding of the 2-arm, placebo-controlled RCT, combined with a rudimentary grasp of the <i>P</i> value; things are now much more complicated. Innovations in trial design and analysis, including adaptive, Bayesian, platform, and noninferiority designs, have occurred to address the problems of poor trial efficiency. However, these advances require the end user to have a much greater level of understanding regarding the rationale, conduct, analysis, and interpretation of each design. While these newer designs seek greater efficiency, there are inevitably tradeoffs that need to be understood. In this month's edition of <i>Stroke</i>, we introduce a new series designed to help fill in these knowledge gaps. Over the next few months, 4 papers will be published that address major design innovations (adaptive, Bayesian, platform, and noninferiority) with the aim of illustrating how these approaches can make trials more efficient (where efficiency is defined as getting to the right answer, sooner, with a potentially lower sample size). In addition to introducing this series, this current article also reviews traditional hypothesis testing and the common misinterpretations of the <i>P</i> value; fortunately, new philosophical schools of inference are beginning to vanquish the overreliance on the <i>P</i> value.
