HAS-BLED for predicting transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement outcomes: Enough to tamponade the problem?

As indications for TAVR expand, there is a need for predictive models of procedural complications. Application of the HAS-BLED score demonstrated patient comorbidities that contribute to increased bleeding events and mortality. Further adequately powered studies will be needed to validate the HAS-BLED score for use in the TAVR population or further elucidate important risk factor to incorporate into future predictive risk models.
