Clinical outcomes of patients with mitral prosthetic valve obstructive thrombosis treated with streptokinase or tenecteplase.

ABSTRACT: Agent of choice for thrombolytic therapy (TT) in prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is unknown. 84 mitral obstructive-PVT episodes treated with TT (43: Tenecteplase; 41: Streptokinase) were included in this prospective study. The incidence of primary end-point (CCS: complete clinical success, defined as complete or partial hemodynamic success with no complications or surgery) was 84.5% with recurrent PVT as a sole predictor. Bleeding and embolic manifestations were noted in 8.3% and 4.7% of episodes respectively. Tenecteplase use was associated with lower complication rate and a mitral EOA of <0.74 cm² at presentation predicts the need for extended thrombolysis (accuracy, 78.6%).

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.

Fibrinolytic Treatment after Transient Ischaemic Attack Caused by Prosthetic Mitral Valve Thrombosis.

Project description:Prosthetic valve thrombosis is one of the most severe complications after surgical valve replacement. There are many possible presentations: from asymptomatic to life-threatening complications. We report on a 61-year-old female patient with prosthetic replacement of the aortic and mitral valve in the in-house department of cardiac surgery 3 months ago. The patient was suffering from aphasia during 5 minutes in domesticity. After her presentation in the emergency room, the echocardiographic examination revealed a thrombotic formation of the prosthetic mitral valve. At presentation, the anticoagulation was outside the effective range (INR: 1.7). A successful thrombolytic therapy with the plasminogen activator urokinase was begun with complete resolution of the thrombus.

Organized prosthetic tricuspid valve thrombosis treated successfully with medical treatment.

Project description:Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) can be a life-threatening complication that requires immediate treatment. We present a case of 57-year-old woman with tricuspid PVT who was definitely diagnosed by multi-detector-row computed tomography limited with echocardiography. The patient was treated successfully with an alternative approach using low molecular weight heparin bridging therapy followed by intensifying anticoagulation alone.

Prosthetic mitral valve Aspergillus fumigatus endocarditis.

Project description:Aspergillus endocarditis is a fatal source of valvular infection with a near 100 % mortality rate if pharmacotherapy and valve-replacement surgery are not initiated swiftly after diagnosis. Complicating its diagnosis is the low yield for growth on standard blood culture and time requirements for molecular diagnostic tools to return a result. Aspergillus endocarditis of the mitral valve presents as valvular vegetations that reduce the caliber of the mitral valve and can cause syncope as in the case of mitral stenosis with subsequent valve failure, left atrial enlargement, and prospective cardiovascular failure. Reports of the management of Aspergillus endocarditis after serial mitral valve replacement are not prominent in the literature. We report the case of a 41-year-old female with previous mitral valve prosthesis who received a second prosthetic mitral valve after a syncopal episode. Vegetations resembling thrombi were noted on transesophageal echocardiogram, diagnosed as Aspergillus fumigatus endocarditis, and successfully treated with antifungal therapy in conjunction with removal of her dysfunctional prosthesis.

Case report of successful low-dose, ultra-slow infusion thrombolysis of prosthetic mitral valve thrombosis in a high risk patient after redo-mitral valve replacement.

Project description:Background:An increase in transvalvular pressure gradient of prosthetic valve should always raise suspicion for obstructive valve thrombosis. A multimodality diagnostic approach including transthoracic echocardiography, transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE), cinefluoroscopy, or computed tomography (CT) is necessary for a prompt diagnosis. The management of mechanical prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is high risk in any therapeutic option taken. Emergency valve replacement is recommended for critically ill patients. Fibrinolysis is an alternative for patients with contraindication to surgery or if surgery is not immediately available. Case summary:A 52-year-old woman presented with symptoms and signs of cardiac congestion. On laboratory, brain natriuretic peptide was elevated and international normalized ratio (INR) was in subtherapeutic range. She underwent a mitral valve replacement with mechanical prosthesis 7?months before, because of a significant residual regurgitation after repair on the same year. TOE revealed severe stenosis of the prosthesis with immobile anterior disc but there was no mass present. CT revealed a minor lesion at the hinge points of the prosthesis without involvement of the ring, suggestive for thrombus. The initial fruitless management with intravenous (i.v) heparin in high therapeutic range was followed by a successful 'low-dose, ultra-slow' fibrinolysis. Discussion:CT may help differentiate thrombus vs. pannus. The acute onset of symptoms, inadequate anticoagulation, and restricted leaflet motion increased the suspicion for PVT. The current European guidelines propose normal dose fibrinolysis. We performed 'low-dose, ultra-slow' fibrinolysis due to lower bleeding risk with successful results. Low dose should be considered as alternative to normal dose fibrinolysis or urgent surgery.

Transcatheter, valve-in-valve transapical aortic and mitral valve implantation, in a high risk patient with aortic and mitral prosthetic valve stenoses.

Project description:Transcatheter valve implantation continues to grow worldwide and has been used principally for the nonsurgical management of native aortic valvular disease-as a potentially less invasive method of valve replacement in high-risk and inoperable patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. Given the burden of valvular heart disease in the general population and the increasing numbers of patients who have had previous valve operations, we are now seeing a growing number of high-risk patients presenting with prosthetic valve stenosis, who are not potential surgical candidates. For this high-risk subset transcatheter valve delivery may be the only option. Here, we present an inoperable patient with severe, prosthetic valve aortic and mitral stenosis who was successfully treated with a trans catheter based approach, with a valve-in-valve implantation procedure of both aortic and mitral valves.

Direct Implant of a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Prosthesis for Prosthetic Mitral Valve Endocarditis.

Project description:We describe the case of a 64-year-old woman presenting with severe prosthetic mitral valve endocarditis 1 year after coronary artery bypass grafting and double valve replacement. Echocardiogram revealed high-pressure gradients through the bioprosthetic MV with a bulky vegetation. As the patient had presented operative difficulties due to severe mitral annular calcification, was in renal failure, and in the absence of any perivalvular involvement, an open-heart surgical catheter-based valve implantation was successfully performed after removal of the infected leaflets, leaving the stent frame and sewing cuff behind. Albeit controversial, this case represents an alternative approach for select high-risk reoperative mitral cases with mitral annular calcification.

Aorto-right pulmonary venous fistula after mitral valve replacement for prosthetic mitral valve infective endocarditis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAorto-cavitary fistula is a rare condition, and the most common underlying aetiology is infective endocarditis (IE) of the native or the prosthetic aortic valve. We report a case of aorto-right inferior pulmonary venous fistula following redo mitral valve replacement (MVR) for prosthetic mitral valve IE.Case summaryA 74-year-old woman underwent urgent redo MVR for prosthetic mitral valve IE. The post-operative course was complicated with heart failure and mediastinal haematoma compressing the left atrium. The haematoma was surgically removed and laceration of the left atrial wall was suture ligated; this was attributed to the surgical trauma dissection of the adhesive tissues. One-week post-operatively, a continuous murmur emerged, which prompted an evaluation of the left to right shunt. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an echolucent area posterior to the aorta, with continuous flow on colour Doppler. Three-dimensional computed tomography showed a fistula between the aorta and the right inferior pulmonary vein. There was a high risk involved in surgical management; therefore, she was managed medically. Fortunately, the continuous murmur and echolucent space disappeared after 6 months. The fistula was considered to be obstructed by spontaneous thrombus formation in the narrowed segment of the fistula tract.DiscussionThe cause of fistula was attributed to possible surgical trauma in the presence of infection. The present case was unique, as it showed spontaneous healing of an aorto-cavitary fistula, which is very rare. The patient was alive with good health status, 6?years after the MVR.

Treatment of Prosthetic Valve Thrombosis: Current Evidence and Future Directions.

Project description:Prosthetic heart valve thrombosis (PVT) is a rare but serious complication with high morbidity and mortality. The optimal treatment of the PVT is controversial and depends on thrombus location and size, the patient's functional class, the risk of surgery or thrombolysis, and the clinician's experience. Although surgical therapy has been the traditional therapeutic approach, studies with low-dose and slow-infusion rates of thrombolytic agents have revealed excellent results. This article reviews the various treatment options in patient with PVT.
