It only takes one piece, and it can happen to any TAVI patient.

Any stroke can be devastating
Any stroke can devastate your patients and their families. Even minor cognitive events can result in significant negative consequences on their quality of life.

Burden of TAVI-Related Stroke in 5 European markets and Economic Benefits of CEP


*Assuming all anatomically eligible patients were receiv ing SENTINEL CEP dev ice.
Clinical assumptions: Seeger et al., 2019 (TAVI-related stroke rate); Durko et al., 2018 and ISTAT database (population projections).
Economic assumptions: The economic burden of TAVI-related stroke includes acute phase management, outpatient care, rehabilitation, nursing and societal costs.
Costs were weighted on the clinical course of TAVI-related stroke surv iv ors (Huded TCT 2018), estimated at 1 y ear and adjusted to 2020 values.
The cost of TAVI-related stroke is meaningful
Stroke has an impact on the quality-of-life of patients, their families and caregivers. And in addition to this, patients experiencing stroke have higher costs due to hospitalization, longer LoS, hospital re-admissions, rehabilitation and social costs.
