Popis: Objectives: To determine the incidence and etiology of thrombocytopenia following transcatheter Aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Background: the use of TAVR in the United States has grown rapidly. Anecdotally, thrombocytopenia following TAVR with the Sapien valves has been observed, though little is known about this phenomenon. Methods: All patients treated with TAVR using a Sapien valve or who underwent isolated balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital from October 2009 through November 2012 were analyzed. Post-procedure thrombocytopenia severity was stratified as none (>150,000 cells/lL), mild (100–150,000), and moderate to severe (
