Valvular and perivalvular thrombosis following self-expandable aortic valve replacement: analysis of 100 multi-detector computed tomography scans.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Subclinical thrombosis may represent an early stage of prosthesis structural disease. Most of the available evidence on the incidence, location, predictors, and consequences of thrombosis comes from studies that have employed balloon-expandable valves. We aimed to describe the different localisations of valvular and perivalvular thrombosis and analyse prosthesis-host multi-detector computed tomography predictors in the context of self-expandable prosthesis. Additionally, we aimed to assess the impact of valvular and perivalvular thrombosis on prosthesis performance and subsequent clinical outcomes.

Methods and results

This analysis includes 100 consecutive patients with normal renal function who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement using Evolut R and receive
