Optimal antithrombotic therapy after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a comprehensive review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a leading treatment for aortic stenosis, but managing thromboembolic and bleeding risks post-procedure remains challenging. This review examines current evidence on antithrombotic therapy after TAVR. Clinical valve thrombosis is rare.

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% vs. 4.7%) compared to SAVR.
