Rotterdam EDOXaban Leaflet Evaluation in Patients After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Summary

A single-center, investigator-initiated, single arm interventional study in patients undergoing transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam (NL). Study population will be patients undergoing TAVR with no formal indication for oral anticoagulant (OAC) and no dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) requirement for coronary stents. Primary endpoint is the incidence of leaflet thickening on MSCT after three months of edoxaban treatment.
