Summary

The POPular ATLANTIS trial aims to investigate CT-guided antithrombotic therapy compared to lifelong single antiplatelet therapy after a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure. Only patients without an indication for anticoagulants will be included in this trial. Currently, lifelong single antiplatelet therapy (mostly aspirin) is considered the standard of care for these patients. However, this approach poses a bleeding risk with only a minimal reduction in thromboembolic events. After 3 months, a CT scan will be conducted to assess the presence of thrombosis on the newly implanted TAVI valve. Based on the results of a 4D CT scan, the decision will be made whether the patient should receive no anticoagulant or antithrombotic therapy with apixaban. CT-guided antithrombotic therapy holds the potential for a greater reduction in thromboembolic events without increasing the bleeding risk.

Conditions

• Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
RADIATION	CT guided strategy	1. With signs of subclinical valve thrombosis on 4D-CT at 3 months after TAVI are switched from SAPT to apixaban. Patients fulfilling the dose reduction criteria according to the drug label, or with a Clinical Frailty Scale ≥4 will receive 2.5mg bid, patients not meeting these criteria will receive a standard dose of 5mg bid. 2. Without signs of subclinical valve thrombosis on 4D-CT at 3 months after TAVI, without another indication for antiplatelet therapy stop their SAPT. 3. Without signs of subclinical valve thrombosis on 4D-CT at 3 months after TAVI with another indication for antiplatelet therapy continue life-long SAPT.
