Early anticoagulation may reduce stroke risk after surgical AVR
Early anticoagulation after bioprosthetic aortic replacement was associated with reduced risk stroke patients had surgical but not those had transcatheter AVR, according researchers.

A trial led by Baylor Scott and White’s Heart Hospital in Plano has led to FDA approval of Trans Aortic Valve Replacement for low risk patients. The approval will open up the surgery to virtually all patients with aortic stenosis. TAVR is a procedure to replace an aortic valve without open-heart surgery, resulting in decreased risk and recovery time. The procedure has quickly become popular in high risk patients who cannot undergo surgery, but the approval means that younger, stronger patients will now be eligible. The majority of patients who are treated for aortic cardiac valve replacement stenosis, which is a narrowing of the aortic valve, are treated with TAVR rather than open heart surgery already. Stenosis usually occurs after the age of 65. Baylor Scott and White helped lead the clinical trial that led to the FDA approval, and has the fifth largest TAVR program in the country. Dr. Michael Mack, a thoracic surgeon who ran the trial at Baylor, said that because TAVR had been done to elderly patients who usually had a life expectancy of five years, practitioners didn’t know how long the valves would last.
