Antiplatelet and Antithrombotic Treatment After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation ‚Äî Comparison of Regimes

09/26/2013

We compared procedural and follow-up complications of TAVI patients based on the type of antithrombotic treatment used (single-antiplatelet vs dual-antiplatelet vs warfarin). This relatively small series suggests that DAPT does not protect...

We compared procedural and...
