 Patients undergoing TAVI bear a high risk of ischaemic stroke, which is an independent predictor of mortality1. Dual antiplatelet therapy DAPT is recommended by current guidelines without clear specifications on the time of initiation of treatment due to a lack of data. While some centers initiate DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel prior to TAVI to reduce the rate of periinterventional embolic events, others start these medications after the procedure.Data on antithrombotic therapy during TAVI are scarce and no randomized evaluation has been performed to demonstrate what the best strategy is during the procedure.
