Hematologic and Clinical Parameters After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis

Abstract

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that platelet activation occurs in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). This study sought to evaluate the changes in hematologic and clinical parameters noted with the improvement in AS following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe AS at high risk of surgery.
