Bioprosthetic Valve Thrombosis and Obstruction Secondary to COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: Patients with COVID-19 may present a hypercoagulable state, with an important impact on morbidity and mortality. Because of this situation pulmonary embolism is a frequent complication during the course of infection. We present the case of a patient recently discharged, after admission with confirmed COVID-19, who developed a pulmonary embolism and thrombosis of a biological mitral valve prosthesis, producing valve obstruction and stenosis. After 15 days of anticoagulant treatment, resolution of the thrombus and normalisation of prosthetic valve function was observed. This case supports current recommendations of administering full-dose anticoagulation therapy to COVID-19 patients with biological heart valve prosthesis, even after the acute phase of infection.

Human menopausal gonadotropin-induced bioprosthetic valve thrombosis.

Project description:Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis (BPVT) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. Human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) is commonly used for ovulation induction and has been associated with arterial and venous thrombosis. We reported a case of BPVT related to in vitro fertilization in a 39-year-old female, who underwent redo mitral valve replacement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of hMG-induced BPVT in a young female patient.

Intracardiac Echocardiography to Diagnose Bioprosthetic Pulmonary Valve Thrombosis.

Project description:A 48-year-old woman presented with heart failure and bioprosthetic pulmonary valve regurgitation 2 years after pulmonary valve replacement. Intracardiac echocardiography demonstrated uniform thickening of a single prosthetic valve leaflet suggesting leaflet thrombosis rather than bioprosthetic valve degeneration. After 3 months of anticoagulation, valve regurgitation and symptoms improved. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Recurrent bioprosthetic mitral valve thrombosis treated with anticoagulation.

Project description:Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis (BPVT) is more common than previously thought and likely underreported. BPVT can be accurately diagnosed with cardiac imaging and treated successfully with anticoagulation, thus preventing reoperation. We hereby report a case of recurrent BPVT in the mitral position successfully treated with anticoagulation along with review of literature.

Reversal of Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Thrombosis Using Rivaroxaban-A Case Report.

Project description:Background: Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis (BPVT) is a rare but recognized complication causing valve dysfunction. In subacute valve thrombosis, systemic oral anticoagulation is recommended. However, there is little data comparing the efficacy of warfarin and novel oral anticoagulant (NOAC) therapy in this setting. Case Summary: A patient developed subacute BPVT 11 years post-implantation. The patient was initially treated with warfarin for a period of 6 months, with limited effect. Following replacement of warfarin with rivaroxaban, there was significant reversal of the BPVT, as represented by a reduction in transaortic maximal velocity (Vmax) from 4.1 to 3 m/s over 7 months. Discussion: Systemic oral anticoagulation can be an effective treatment for subacute valve thrombosis. Guidelines currently recommend warfarin as first line but NOACs can be considered in such patients and may be more effective than warfarin. Randomized controlled trials are required to further establish the optimal anticoagulation for patients with subacute BPVT.

Emergent Surgical Replacement of a Tendyne Prosthesis for Bioprosthetic Valve Thrombosis.

Project description:A 66-year-old woman with a complex medical history underwent transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVI) owing to mitral insufficiency. Risk factors and noncompliance led to bioprosthetic valve thrombosis (BPVT) within 3 years. Emergent surgery indicated by an ad hoc heart team successfully managed the situation, showcasing challenges in BPVT management after TMVI.
