Primary objective was to study the procedural and clinical outcome with regard to atherothrombotic AWT in transfemoral aortic valve implantation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In a retrospective, single-centre analysis, a qualitative 0\u201310 AWT score classification system was used. The most severely affected aortic area in computed tomography angiography cross-section was assessed for the number of affected segments, thrombus type, thickness, area and circumference. Primary endpoints were 30-day mortality, neurologic, renal and pulmonary events and signs of solid organ infarction.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Between November 2017 and September 2019, 604 patients underwent transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation in our institution. Computed tomography-guided analysis revealed AWT in 11.3% and shaggy aorta syndrome in 6 patients (1.0% with 83.3% male). AWT was mainly present in the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta and was associated with acute renal failure (11.8% vs 3.2%, P\u2009\u2264\u20090.001) and a seven-fold increased rate of disabling peri-interventional stroke (4.4% vs 0.6%, P\u2009\u2264\u20090.001). In all patients with disabling peri-interventional stroke a balloon-expandable prosthesis was used (P\u2009\u2264\u20090.001). In case of shaggy aorta, mortality was more than six-fold increased (2.8% vs 16.7%, P\u2009=\u20090.046).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Severe and irregular thrombus of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta has been strongly associated with acute respiratory failure and peri-interventional stroke in transfemoral aortic valve implantation, being more likely using balloon-expandable devices. Our results imply important changes with regard to device design and present international transcatheter aortic valve implantation guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n
