AIMS: To investigate the influence of baseline thrombocytopenia (TCP) on short-term and long-term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 732 consecutive patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR from January 2012 to December 2015 were included. Primary outcomes of interest were the relationship of baseline TCP with 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes of interest were procedural complications and in-hospital mortality in the same subgroups. The prevalence of TCP (defined as platelet count <150 × 109/L) at baseline was 21.9%, of whom 4.0% had moderate/severe TCP (defined as platelet count <100 × 109/L). Compared to no or mild TCP, moderate/severe TCP at baseline was associated with a significantly higher 30-day mortality (23.3% vs 2.3% and 3.1%, respectively; P<.001) and 1-year mortality (40.0% vs 8.3% and 13.4%, respectively; P<.001). In Cox regression analysis, moderate/severe baseline TCP was an independent predictor of 30-day and 1-year mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 13.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.49-38.64; P<.001 and HR, 5.90; 95% CI, 2.68-13.02; P<.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, baseline TCP is a strong predictor of mortality in TAVR patients, possibly identifying a specific subgroup of frail patients; therefore, it should be taken into account when addressing TAVR risk.

Abstract

AIMS: To investigate the influence of baseline thrombocytopenia (TCP) on short-term and long-term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 732 consecutive patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR from January 2012 to December 2015 were included. Primary outcomes of interest were the relationship of baseline TCP with 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes of interest were procedural complications and in-hospital mortality in the same subgroups. The prevalence of TCP (defined as platelet count <150 × 109/L) at baseline was 21.9%, of whom 4.0% had moderate/severe TCP (defined as platelet count <100 × 109/L). Compared to no or mild TCP, moderate/severe TCP at baseline was associated with a significantly higher 30-day mortality (23.3% vs 2.3% and 3.1%, respectively; P<.001) and 1-year mortality (40.0% vs 8.3% and 13.4%, respectively; P<.001). In Cox regression analysis, moderate/severe baseline TCP was an independent predictor of 30-day and 1-year mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 13.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.49-38.64; P<.001 and HR, 5.90; 95% CI, 2.68-13.02; P<.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, baseline TCP is a strong predictor of mortality in TAVR patients, possibly identifying a specific subgroup of frail patients; therefore, it should be taken into account when addressing TAVR risk.
