Abstract
Background: Data are limited regarding transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)-related thrombocytopenia (TP). We sought to thoroughly characterize the presence, clinical impact, and severity of TP associated with TAVR. Methods and Results: Data were collected from 90 patients who underwent TAVR using the Edwards SAPIEN valve (59 TF, 29 TA, 2 Tao). Platelet counts were evaluated peri-procedurally and for 8 days following TAVR. Platelet levels were compared and patients were divided into a no TP (No-TP) group 1, acquired (new) TP (NTP) group 2, pre-existing (pre-TAVR) TP (PTP) group 3, and further stratified based on the severity of TP: mild (M) TP (100-149 × 103cell/μL) and moderate-severe (MS) TP (
