Valve thrombosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) can cause dysfunction. Early anticoagulation therapy can resolve thrombosis and normalize gradients, highlighting the need for antithrombotic guidelines post-TAVR.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Interventional Cardiology
- Prosthetic Heart Valves
Background:
- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly used for aortic stenosis.
- Nonstructural valve dysfunction post-TAVR is rare, often attributed to pannus or thrombosis.
- Limited data exists on early valve thrombosis after TAVR.
