    Abstract:
    Pregnancy is among the risk factors for mechanical valve thrombosis, and even though thrombolytic therapy is contraindicated during pregnancy, it may be used in the treatment of this life-threatening complication. This case report describes a pregnant patient, whose echocardiogram showed evident gradient increase on her mechanical prosthetic mitral valve, and who was treated successfully with tissue plasminogen activator for mechanical valve thrombosis.
