Coagulation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: Still a black box?

N. Patrick Mayr MD, FACC, Yousuke Taniguchi MD, 
  •  7 October 2024

Key points

  • Post-TAVR, there is a significant increase in pro-coagulatory parameters in conjunction with a decrease in platelet counts.

  • Finding the right balance between thrombosis and bleeding after the procedure is essential, and the results presented here will add knowledge to this topic

  • The effect of protamine in different dosages on the postoperative course of thrombin generation and coagulation needs more data
