Clinical predictors and sequelae of computed tomography defined leaflet thrombosis following transcatheter aortic valve replacement at medium-term follow-up

ConclusionsAbsence of OAC, large TAVR prostheses and moderate-severe PVR were predictors for LT. Transvalvular gradients were higher in patients that developed RELM but not HALT. Further studies are warranted to determine the long-term impact of LT on TAVR durability.Graphic abstractPrevalence of different sub-types of CT-defined LT (HALT and RELM) and the clinical predictors of developing LT following TAVR.CT computed tomography,HALT hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening,LT leaflet thrombosis,RELM reduced leaflet motion,TAVR transcatheter aortic valve replacement
