Overview
A substantial number of patients develops a subclinical leaflet thrombosis (SLT) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
The thrombus forms on the leaflets, which can lead to valve dysfunction and possibly to early valve degeneration. Multidetector computed tomography is the most sensitive imaging technique at detecting SLT.
Patients on antiplatelet drugs are at higher risk to develop SLT as compared to those on anticoagulant. During the live debate, the experts in the field will discuss controversies concerning SLT, including the routine use of oral anticoagulants and CT exams after TAVR.
