Prosthetic aortic valve thrombosis: To fibrinolyse or not to fibrinolyse? That is the question!
Prosthetic heart valve (PHV) dysfunction is a rare but serious complication whose optimal management may be challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Treatment success ultimately depends on determining the underlying mechanism of valve dysfunction by echocardiography. However, being abl...

Treatment success ultimately depends on determining the underlying mechanism of valve dysfunction by echocardiography. However, being able to establish the main etiology is not always straightforward. We present a difficult case of obstructive PHV dysfunction and discuss clinical and echocardiographic parameters to help differentiate thrombus from pannus formation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: algorithm case study diagnostic images pictorial tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
