Valve thrombosis can occur in mechanical prosthetic valves and is increasingly recognised
in transcatheter and surgically implanted bioprosthetic valves. The risk of thrombosis of …

Prosthetic valve thrombosis is one of the major causes of primary valve failure, which can be
life-threatening. Multimodality imaging is necessary for determination of leaflet …

Degenerative valve disease is on the rise with greater than 100,000 valve operations
performed in the US alone per year. The majority of those procedures employ tissue …

Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a rare but serious complication of valve replacement,
most often encountered with mechanical prostheses. The significant morbidity and mortality …

All foreign bodies inserted in the circulatory system are thrombogenic and require temporary
or lifelong antithrombotic therapies to prevent thrombosis. The adequate level of …

BACKGROUND: Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a life-threatening complication. We reviewed
the incidence, risk factors, and treatment strategies of this rare complication. METHODS …

Mechanical prosthetic heart valves, though more durable than bioprostheses, are more
thrombogenic and require lifelong anticoagulation. Mechanical valve dysfunction can be …

Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a potentially life-threatening complication associated with
high morbidity and mortality. Transthorasic and transoesophageal echocardiography play …

Introduction: Prosthetic heart valve thrombosis is a life-threatening complication after valve
replacement surgery. Although subtherapeutic anticoagulation is the main cause, there are …

Thrombosis of a prosthetic valve is one of the most severe complications of cardiac valve
replacement. The incidence is 0.5% in the aortic and mitral positions and up to 20% in the …
