Surgical and catheter interventions on stenotic or insufficient valves are the only acknowledged effective treatment for patients with a haemodynamically significant defect. Interventional valve repair carries a risk of both thrombotic and bleeding complications. Although antithrombotic drugs reduce the risks of interventional treatment, an optimal therapeutic regimen and treatment duration remain unknown. This article presents an overview of recent information on this issue as well as a review of current evidence on antithrombotic therapy following interventional treatment for valvular heart disease.
