Long-term prosthetic-associated subclinical thrombotic events evaluation by cardiac CTA after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: incidence and outcomes.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is being used more often; associated subclinical thromboses have not been thoroughly evaluated. Prosthetic-associated subclinical thrombotic events were associated with adverse outcomes, bioprosthetic hemodynamics deterioration, and cardiac dysfunction. Studies should be directed at these topics to determine if they should be intervened upon.
