  • Title: Successful thrombolysis for prosthetic pulmonary valve obstruction.
    Author: Lopez JA, Strickman NE, Jin BS, Li XG, Phan B, Zeluff BJ, Wilansky S.
    Journal: Tex Heart Inst J; 1995; 22(2):197-9. PubMed ID: 7647607.
    Abstract:
    Thrombosis is a serious complication of prosthetic heart valve operations. In recent years, systemic thrombolysis has emerged as a suitable alternative to surgery. Experience with thrombosis of pulmonary prosthetic valves is very limited. We report a case of successful administration of intravenous streptokinase for thrombosis of a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve 3 weeks after pulmonary valve replacement.
