Thrombosis of Bioprosthetic Valves
O ver the 5 decades that bioprosthetic valves (BPVs) have been commonly implanted, the frequency of superimposed thrombosis has been thought to be negligible (1). Thus, early echocardiographic follow-up of patients with BPVs has been sparse, and chronic anticoagulation was mostly avoided. After the baseline post-operative study, current guidelines state that “patients with bioprosthetic valves ...
متن کاملAcute thrombosis of bioprosthetic mitral valve
We report a case of acute thrombosis of bioprosthetic mitral valve in a 59 year-old Korean female, who underwent a mitral valve replacement with a 25 mm Carpentier - Edwards PERIMOUNT Plus bioprosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences, Inc.; Irvine, CA, USA) and a mini-Maze procedure for correction of mitral stenosis (MS) and atrial fibrillation (AF). On the 10th postoperative day, the patient began to c...
متن کاملBioprosthetic Valve Thrombosis Versus Structural Failure
RESULTS Among 397 consecutive cases of explanted bioprostheses, there were 46 cases of BPVT (11.6%; aortic 29, mitral 9, tricuspid 7, pulmonary 1), mean age was 63 years, and 68% were male. Thirty (65%) cases occurred >12 months post-implantation; median bioprosthetic valve longevity was 24 months (cases) versus 108 months (controls) (p < 0.001). Independent predictors of BPVT were >50% increas...
متن کاملSubclinical Valve Thrombosis in Sutureless Bioprosthetic Valves
I n the current issue of JAHA, Dal en et al 1 report the results of a single-center prospective observational study of 47 patients with implantation of the Perceval sutureless bioprosthesis (LivaNova, Milan, Italy). Cardiac computed tomography (CT) performed at a median of 491 days (range 36– 1247 days) found hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) in 18 (38%) and reduced leaflet motion (RLM)...
متن کاملMetabolic syndrome is associated with faster degeneration of bioprosthetic valves.
BACKGROUND Several studies have reported similarities between calcification of the native aortic valve and atherosclerosis. Recent studies also suggested that hypercholesterolemia may be a risk factor for calcific degeneration of bioprosthetic valves. The metabolic syndrome (MS) is associated with a higher risk of vascular atherosclerosis. We thus hypothesized that the atherogenic features of M...
