📰 Checkout our latest publication in JACC: Advances! We evaluated antithrombotic strategies post-TAVR in patients w/out indication for anticoagulation. SAPT emerges as the safest option—lower bleeding risk without ↑ mortality, MI, or stroke.🫀#CardioTwitter #TAVR @JACCJournals

JJACC Journals@JACCJournals · Mar 31

A #JACCAdvances updated network meta-analysis confirms that SAPT remains the safest choice for pts w/out indication for anticoagulation, significantly reducing 🩸 risk w/out 📈 mortality, #cvMI, or stroke risks. Personalized care remains essential. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #ACC25
