What is Two Approaches—one Phenomenon—thrombocytopenia After Surgical and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement about?

## Backgropund and aim: Postoperative thrombocytopenia after surgical aortic valve replacement (savr) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr) and aggravating causes were the aim of this retrospective study. ## Methods: Data of all patients treated with savr (n = 1068) and tavr (n = 816) due to severe aortic valve stenosis was collected at our center from 2010 to 2017. preprocedural and postprocedural values were collected from electronic patient records. ## Results: There was a significant drop in platelets in both groups, the tavr group showed overall superior platelet preservation compared to the avr group (p < .001). in the savr subgroup analysis, a significant difference in platelet preservation was observed between the valve types (p < .001), particularly with the freedom solo valve. in the tavr subgroup analysis, the valve type did not influence platelet count (plt) reduction (p = .13). in the savr subgroup analyses, plt was found to be worsened with cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) duration. ## Conclusion: Thrombocytopenia frequently occurs after implantation of a biological heart valve prosthesis, with a higher frequency observed in patients after cardiac surgery rathe
