متن کاملA rare cause of myocardial infarction: coronary embolism in a patient with prosthetic mitral valve thrombosis.
The incidence of systemic embolization with mechanical valves is 1% per year [1]. Most cases present as cerebrovascular events. As the incidence of mechanical valve surgery has increased in recent years, systemic thromboembolism has become an important problem. Although coronary embolism due to mechanical valve thrombosis is encountered rarely, it is an important and serious complication. We re...
متن کاملEarly post-operative thrombosis of the prosthetic mitral valve in patient with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is one of the most common immune-mediated adverse drug reactions, with frequencies as high as 2-3% for certain groups of post-cardiac surgery patients. We report on an 50-year-old woman with early post-operative thrombosis of the prosthetic mitral valve due to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Non-invasive imaging (two-dimensional transesophageal echocardi...
