Ticagrelor administered with Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA) will provide better cerebral protection from microembolization in the cerebral circulation during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) and 30 days afterwards, than Clopidogrel plus ASA. This hypothesis will be investigated by measuring the number of High Intensity Transient Signals (HITS) as assessed with transcranial Doppler (TCD) on middle cerebral arteries.
