- The study aimed to assess changes in hemoglobin levels and kidney function in patients 5-12 months after undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), along with exploring the relationship between these changes.
- After TAVR, the average hemoglobin level significantly improved, with anemia in patients decreasing from 67.5% to 53.9%, even though there was a slight decline in kidney function.
- The analysis did not find specific clinical predictors for ongoing anemia post-TAVR, suggesting that TAVR may help reduce gastrointestinal blood loss associated with severe aortic stenosis (AS).
