Abstract

Introduction. Perioperative bleeding is a potentially life-threatening complication of surgical intervention. The incidence of perioperative bleeding during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) reaches 6%. An increased risk of perioperative bleeding is noted in patients requiring constant antiplatelet therapy, which includes patients with concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD).Aim. The study of risk factors of bleeding, which require blood transfusion in candidates for TAVI with concomitant CAD.Materials and methods. A retrospective study. The patients with concomitant CAD who underwent TAVI from 2016 to 2021 with hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis (n = 270) were included in this study. The incidence of early postoperative bleeding requiring blood transfusions was analyzed. Risk factors of bleeding development were evaluated.Results. The average age of the patients was 77.7 ± 7.2 years, the number of male and female patients was comparable (45.9 and 54.1%).The majority of patients were diagnosed with chronic heart failure (90.4%), more than half of the patients suffered from pulmonary hypertension (51.9%). The incidence of bleeding that required blood transfusion was 9.3%. The risk factors of the bleeding were dual antiplatelet therapy, baseline anemia (hemoglobin less than 120 g/l), history of stroke, chronic renal failure and critical aortic stenosis. The risk factors were included in the predictive model.Conclusion. Bleeding requiring blood transfusion in patients with severe aortic stenosis and CAD after TAVR occurs in 9.3%. It can be partially predicted using the predictive model. The using of the predictive model may be useful in determining the predominant risk of thrombotic or bleeding events after surgery.
