Why the study?

Leaflet thrombosis after TAVR has been reported, but thrombus formation in the sinus of Valsalva has yet to be fully evaluated.

Population

9 patients with sinus of Valsalva thrombosis among 192 undergoing cardiac CT after TAVR

Design

Retrospective study

Implication

Sinus of Valsalva thrombosis may occur post-TAVR; this small series leaves open its incidence, risks, and management implications.

Structured PICO

Population

9 patients (age 82 years, 2 males, 7 females) who had sinus of Valsalva thrombosis identified by cardiac CT, selected from a retrospective cohort of 192 patients who underwent cardiac CT after TAVR between March 2011 and Aug 2019.

Intervention

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

Outcome

Detection and characteristics of sinus of Valsalva thrombosis (location, CT attenuation, and presence of concurrent leaflet thrombosis)surrogate

Cardiac CT after TAVR can detect sinus of Valsalva thrombosis, which may be an underrecognized potential source of systemic embolization.
