- Abstract
A major concern regarding transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is leaflet thrombosis. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) is the preferred imaging modality to evaluate patients with suspected valve thrombosis. To date, the abnormal findings visualized by 4D-CT suggestive of leaflet thrombosis have lacked pathologic confirmation from a surgically explanted valve in a surviving patient. Herein, we provide pathologic confirmation of thrombus formation following surgical explantation of a thrombosed TAVR prosthesis that was initially identified by 4D-CT.
