Background: Bleeding events are among the striking complications following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and bleeding prediction models are crucially warranted. Several studies have highlighted that primary hemostasis disorders secondary to persistent loss of high-molecular-weight (HMW) multimers of the von Willebrand factor (vWF) and assessed by adenosine diphosphate closure time (CT-ADP) may be a strong predictor of late major/life-threatening bleeding complications (MLBCs). Pre-existing atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity in TAVR patients and potentially associated with increased bleeding events after the procedure. Objectives: This study evaluated the impact of ongoing primary hemostasis disorders, as assessed by post-procedural CT-ADP &gt; 180 s, on clinical events after TAVR among anticoagulated AF patients. Methods: An ongoing primary hemostasis disorder was defined by post-procedure CT-ADP &gt; 180 s. Bleeding complications were assessed according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2) criteria. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of late MLBCs at one-year follow-up. The secondary endpoint was a composite of mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, and rehospitalization for heart failure. Results: In total, 384 TAVR patients were included in the analysis. Of these patients, 57 patients (14.8%) had a prolongated CT-ADP &gt; 180 s. Increased MLBCs were observed in patients with CT-ADP &gt; 180 s (35.1% versus 1.2%; p   180 s (HR 28.93; 95% CI 9.74–85.95; p   180 s was identified as a strong independent predictor of late MLBCs. These findings suggest that persistent primary hemostasis disorders contribute to a higher risk of late bleeding events and should be considered for a tailored, risk-adjusted antithrombotic therapy after TAVR.
