Abstract

Geometric confinement of the TAV by the leaflets and the frame of the degenerated bioprosthesis that circumferentially surround the TAV stent increases the BRT on the leaflets, which may act as a permissive factor in the TAV leaflet thrombosis after ViV procedure. A similar distribution pattern of BRT observed on the TAV leaflets may explain the similar rate of occurrence of thrombosis on the three leaflets.
