Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective study designed to evaluate the structural and functional integrity of transcatheter or surgical bioprosthetic valves with multimodality imaging. The study further aims to confirm resolution of the early bioprosthetic valve thrombotic changes with anticoagulation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with a history of bioprosthetic valve replacement undergo cardiac contrast CT imaging and transthoracic echocardiography to evaluate structural and functional integrity of the aortic valves. The imaging studies will be performed at least 48-hours after bioprosthetic valve replacement. Patients with prosthetic valve abnormalities suggestive of thrombus will be administered anticoagulation therapy, followed by repeat contrast CT of the chest and transthoracic imaging. Repeat imaging following 3 months of anticoagulation therapy is performed to evaluate the response to anticoagulation therapy. I

Pre-existing bioprosthetic aortic valve

Patients with a history of surgical or transcatheter valve replacement with bioprosthetic valves undergo cardiac contrast CT imaging and transthoracic echocardiography to evaluate structural and functional integrity of the aortic valves. Patients with prosthetic valve abnormalities suggestive of thrombus will be administered anticoagulation therapy with Vitamin K antagonists (Warfarin) for 3 months with goal INR 2-3, followed by repeat contrast CT of the chest and transthoracic imaging. Repeat imaging following 3 months of anticoagulation therapy is performed to evaluate the response to anticoagulation therapy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Warfarin

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients with prosthetic valve abnormalities suggestive of thrombus will be administered anticoagulation therapy with Vitamin K antagonists (Warfarin) for 3 months with goal INR 2-3, followed by repeat contrast CT of the chest and transthoracic imaging. Repeat imaging following 3 months of anticoagulation therapy is performed to evaluate the response to anticoagulation therapy.
