Clinical Leaflet Thrombosis in Transcatheter and Surgical Bioprosthetic Aortic Valves by 4DCT

ConclusionsIn patients with clinical or echocardiographic indications suggestive of leaflet thrombosis, 1/3rd of patients were found to have evidence of leaflet thrombosis using 4DCT. This allowed tailored anticoagulation therapy with resolution of the thrombus in most patients avoiding unnecessary anticoagulation in the remaining 2/3rds of patients.
