    Abstract:
    Thrombotic malfunction is a rare and shortly documented complication of cardiac bioprostheses. Surgical treatment is usually needed. We report a patient with thrombotic occlusion of a Hancock mitral prosthesis which was resolved with heparin. Clinical and therapeutic features are discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a bioprosthetic thrombotic obstruction successfully managed with heparin therapy.
