About this trial
This study aims to utilise novel biomarkers assessing thrombosis and thrombolysis (through a blood test), to identify patients undergoing either surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) who are at risk of thrombosis, and relate this to clinical thrombotic and thromboembolic adverse events and subclinical valve thrombosis, and identify the timeframe of greatest risk for valve thrombosis.
