TCT-34 Completeness of defect closure determined the resolution of hemolytic anemia in patients undergoing transcatheter paravalvular leak closure

Regurgitant area and residual flow through occluder were independent variables predictive of the decrease in LDH (OR 9.69; 95%CI 1.85-109.88 and OR 5.36, 95%CI 1.24-30.01, respectively) Conclusions Only in patients with >90% reduction of regurgitation area and no flow through occluder TPVLC leads...

Summary:Regurgitant area and residual flow through occluder were independent variables predictive of the decrease in LDH (OR 9.69; 95%CI 1.85-109.88 and OR 5.36, 95%CI 1.24-30.01, respectively) Conclusions Only in patients with >90% reduction of regurgitation area and no flow through occluder TPVLC leads to recovery of Hb and RBC levels and resolution of hemolysis in 6 months follow-up.
