Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2020 Aug;96(2):422-423. doi: 10.1002/ccd.29171.

Abstract

Chronic thrombocytopenia is frequent in patients undergoing TAVR in the real world. Chronic thrombocytopenia is associated with worse in-hospital outcomes after TAVR. Future research is necessary to establish a better way of conducting and monitoring these patients.
