I think it would be better to extract to good tags. It is easy to match a few tags than to remove the rest of the element and all html possibilities. Try something like this, I tested it and it works fine:

// the following regex matches the good tags with attrinutes an inner content
var ptt = new  RegExp("<(?:img|a|br){1}.*/?>(?:(?:.|\n)*)?", "g");
var input = "";              
var result = "";

var match = ptt.exec(input);                
while (match) {
    result += match;
    match = ptt.exec(input);
}

// result will contain the clean HTML with only the good tags
console.log(result);
