A large amount of evidence supports the widespread use of transcatheter 
aortic valve replacement (TAVR) among patients who are at low to 
intermediate risk for surgery. However, several controversies exist 
about the optimal antithrombotic regimen to use in these patients. On 
the one hand, concerns about ischemic stroke, subclinical leaflet 
thrombosis, valve thrombosis, and long-term durability suggest the need 
for a stronger antithrombotic regimen to ensure a better patient and 
valve outcome. On the other hand, the high bleeding risk of this 
population and the current lack of strong evidence in favor of a more 
aggressive antithrombotic strategy require caution. This review analyzes
 the rationale of antithrombotic therapy in TAVR illustrating the 
present scenario and future perspectives.
