Help Manage Antithrombotics After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

You'll hear more about antithrombotic management in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Think of TAVR as similar to a cardiac stent...a new valve is placed with a catheter, which "takes over" for the old one.

This is why dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin plus clopidogrel is used.
