The patients with anemia were prescribed antiplatelet medication less frequently at discharge than those without anemia. Blood transfusion during the index hospitalization was more frequent in the patients with moderate-to-severe anemia prior to TAVR. There were minor differences in baseline characteristics...
Clinical outcome was not significantly different between the two groups (log-rankP-value = 0.26).#Conclusions:Larger indexed SOV diameter, higher AV calcium volume, and smaller post-procedure AV EOAi were risk factors for leaflet thrombosis after TAVR. Subclinical leaflet thrombosis has a benign ...
