Background: Cardiovascular disease and cancer are the two leading causes of mortality worldwide, and their association presents a therapeutic challenge. Current data regarding the prognosis of active cancer in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement are conflicting.
Aim: To determine the impact and prognosis of active cancer in transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Article Synopsis
- Bleeding complications are significant after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), especially in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), necessitating effective prediction models for major bleeding events.
- The study focused on post-procedural primary hemostasis disorders measured by CT-ADP values over 180 seconds and their relation to late major/life-threatening bleeding complications (MLBCs) among TAVR patients.
- Results showed that 14.8% of patients had prolonged CT-ADP, which correlated with a significantly higher rate of MLBCs, making it a vital predictor alongside other factors like bleeding history and complications following TAVR.
