  • Title: Obstructive bioprosthetic mitral valve thrombus: management options?
    Author: Alshehri HZ, Ismail M, Ibrahim MF.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2014 Oct; 22(8):975-8. PubMed ID: 24887839.
    Abstract:
    Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis is an extremely rare event, therefore, long-term anticoagulation can be avoided. There is limited experience in the diagnosis and treatment of such a situation. We present the case of a patient with a porcine mitral bioprosthesis who presented with acute pulmonary edema, likely secondary to obstructive valve thrombosis. A favorable outcome was observed after conservative anticoagulant treatment.
