Abstract 4142998: Optimizing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Design to Mitigate Subclinical Leaflet Thrombosis

Circulation

Introduction:Subclinical leaflet thrombosis is an increasingly recognized complication in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Patients with hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) and reduced leaflet motion (RELM) have a higher incidence of strokes and transient ischemic attacks.

Age‐Related Outcomes of Valve‐in‐Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Structural Valve Deterioration

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundValveinvalve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a recognized alternative for treating the structural valve deterioration of bioprosthetic valves. Recent guidelines and trials have expanded the indications for TAVR to include younger patients with structural valve deterioration.

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.

Lifelong risk of stroke after TAVR: Findings from SwissTAVI Registry

Cardiology Update

Stroke stands as a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality, imposing a substantial burden on patients, societies, and healthcare systems worldwide. 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.
