Evolution of Coagulation and Platelet Activation Markers After Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The recommendations for antithrombotic therapy after transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) are empirical, and the benefit of antiplatelet (APT) or anticoagulation therapy (ACT) remains undetermined. The study sought to investigate the degree and the timing of coagulation and platelet marker activation after TEER. Methods: This was a prospective study including 46 patients undergoing TEER. The markers of coagulation activation, namely prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1 + 2) and thrombin-antithrombin III (TAT), and the markers of platelet activation, namely soluble P-Selectin and soluble CD-40 ligand (sCD40L), were measured at baseline, 24 h, 1 month, and 1 year after TEER. Results: At discharge, 20 (43%) patients received APT (single:
