Recurrent bioprosthetic mitral valve thrombosis treated with anticoagulation. Echocardiography (Mount Kisco, N.Y.) Fernandes, R., Varshney, A. S., Aragam, J. 2020; 37 (12): 2134-2138

Abstract

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.
