Objectives The effect of subclinical leaflet thrombosis, characterised by hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT), on the valve haemodynamic function and durability of the bioprosthetic valve, is not yet determined. The presence of HALT did not significantly affect aortic valve mean gradients (with vs without HALT; 14.0±4.8

Within the realm of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), stroke emerges as a recognized adverse event, manifesting at various stages during and after the procedure. Previous studies extensively delved into short-term incidence, trends, and clinical outcomes related to TAVR-associated stroke. female) were included.

SMART 4 ( NCT04722250 ) studied patients with severe aortic stenosis and a small aortic annulus who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). A total of 716 patients underwent TAVR with either a self-expanding supraannular valve or a balloon-expandable valve. vs. 6.2%) and stroke (2.9%
