Article Synopsis
- Leaflet thrombosis (LT) is a complex and poorly understood complication that can occur after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), prompting the need for better prediction models to identify at-risk patients.
- A study involving 101 TAVI patients utilized imaging and lab tests to determine various clinical and biological factors associated with LT, discovering that certain elevated and decreased lab values could predict its occurrence.
- The researchers created an EFFORT score to quantify the risk, finding that patients scoring 2 or higher had an 85.7% likelihood of developing LT, indicating the score's potential as a powerful tool for risk assessment post-TAVI.
