Subclinical Thrombosis in Bioprosthetic Aortic Valves: A Prospective Study

Subclinical Thrombosis in Bioprosthetic Aortic Valves: A Prospective Study

1.1. Background: Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis (BPVT) is considered a relatively rare clinical entity. Data about BPVT are scarce. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of BPVT and the optimal antiplatelet/anticoagulant regimen in postoperative bioprosthetic aortic valve (BPAV).
