- Original description
A multicentre cross-sectional cohort study to assess the difference in bioprosthetic micro-calcification activity, detected with 18F-NaF PET-CT, as early marker of transcatheter valve degeneration, between patients with vs. without subclinical leaflet thrombosis at five years after TAVI; and between patients with intra-annular vs. supra-annular TAVI prostheses.Read full original descriptionShow less
The Effect of Subclinical Leaflet Thrombosis and Prosthesis Type on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Degeneration
A multicentre cross-sectional cohort study to assess the difference in bioprosthetic micro-calcification activity, detected with 18F-NaF PET-CT, as early marker of transcatheter valve degeneration, between patients with vs. without subclinical leaflet thrombosis at five years after TAVI; and between patients with intra-annular vs. supra-annular TAVI prostheses.
Inclusion: Successful TAVI with Sapien or CoreValve Evolut prosthesis about 5 years ago; Able to undergo hybrid 18F-NaF PET-CT imaging and transthoracic echocardiography; Written informed consent.
Exclusion: Known severe renal insufficiency; History of valve-in-valve procedure; History of aortic valve re-intervention (including percutaneous paravalvular leak closure); Temporary or chronic oral anticoagulation use after TAVI; Known severe paravalvular regurgitation.
