Impact of leaflet thrombosis on valve haemodynamic status after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Conclusions
In patients who had undergone successful TAVR, aortic valve haemodynamic status was not influenced by the presence of HALT. Although HALT was not a predictor of haemodynamic SVD at 6 months, it warrants further longer-term follow-up to evaluate the effect on long-term valve durability.
