Is subclinical leaflet thrombosis associated with impaired left ventricular reverse remodelling after TAVI?
Subclinical leaflet thrombosis after TAVI is associated with impaired left ventricular reverse remodeling, potentially hindering beneficial structural changes.
TAVI resulted in a significant LVM regression on CT. The presence of SLT showed an inverse association with LV reverse remodelling and thus it may hinder the beneficial LV structural changes. Reverse remodelling was associated with improved long-term prognosis.
