In the article by Fanning et al, “Neurological Injury in Intermediate‐Risk Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation,” which published online November 15, 2016, and appeared in the November 2016 issue of the journal (J Am Heart Assoc. 2016;5:e004203 doi: 10.1161/JAHA.116.004203), several corrections are needed. On page 2, lines 40–41, first column, the sentence, “a preexisting neurological impairment with a modified Rankin score ≥3 (ie, moderate disability, requiring some assistance, but able to mobilize independently)” has now been corrected to read, “a preexisting neurological impairment with a modified Rankin score >2 (ie, no significant disability, able to carry out usual activities despite some symptoms).”
On page 5, Table 1, the entry for “Postoperative cognitive dysfunction,” which currently reads “1 (2.5)” should read, “2 (5).” On page 5, Figure 1, the word “CONSORT” has been removed from the legend.

Outcome Measures
| Variable | Measure |
|---|---|
| Clinical outcomes (n=40) | |
| Death | 1 (2.5) |
| Myocardial infarction | 0 (0) |
| Life‐threatening bleeding | 1 (2.5) |
| Major bleeding | 0 (0) |
| Pacemaker implantation | 4 (10) |
| Cardiac reintervention | 1 (2.5) |
| Major/disabling stroke | 0 |
| Minor/nondisabling stroke | 1 (2.5) |
| Transient ischemic attack | 0 (0) |
| Postoperative cognitive dysfunction | 2 (5) |
| Postoperative delirium | 1 (2.5) |
| Neuroimaging outcomes (n=30) | |
| Patients with new DWI+ lesions | 18/30 (60) |
| Total number of new DWI+ lesions, n | 68 |
| Median±IQR number of DWI+ lesions/patient | 1±2.8 |
| Median±IQR volume, μL/lesion | 24±19 |
| Median±IQR volume, μL/(DWI+ patient) | 89±214 |
Values are expressed as mean±standard deviation or as n (%), unless otherwise indicated. DWI indicates diffusion‐weighted imaging; IQR, interquartile range.
On page 5, line 42, second column, the word “Similarly,” has been removed.
The authors regret these errors.
