Tenecteplase versus streptokinase thrombolytic therapy in patients with mitral prosthetic valve thrombosis

Successful Use of Two Thrombolytic Drugs in Prosthetic Mitral and Aortic Valve Thrombosis

Introduction: Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a rare and severe complication of valve replacement, most often encountered with a mechanical prosthesis. The significant morbidity and mortality associated with this condition warrant rapid diagnostic evaluation. Although surgery is the first-line therapy in symptomatic obstructive mechanical valve thrombosis, thrombolytic therapy has been used as a...

Successful thrombolysis of a thrombosed prosthetic mitral valve using a synthetic tissue plasminogen activator: a case report

INTRODUCTION Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a rare but life-threatening condition that requires careful evaluation and prompt treatment. While surgical intervention remains the gold standard, thrombolytic therapy is now emerging as a potential substitute. Various thrombolytic treatments including streptokinase, urokinase and recombinant tissue plasminogen activators have been reported with vari...

Management of Patients With Prosthetic Valve Thrombosis After Failed Thrombolytic Therapy.

relate their observation that Holter abnormalities typically precede structural findings on imaging. In our clinical practice, and borne out by the data from our study, pediatric patients rarely fulfill the major criterion for arrhythmias. Arrhythmias as a minor criterion were more prevalent but did not distinguish between the different diagnostic certainty groups. Dr. te Riele and colleagues h...

Use of tenecteplase for left-sided prosthetic valve thrombosis.

INTRODUCTION Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) following cardiac valve replacement in rheumatic heart disease patients is a common cause for referral to tertiary care centre. Although surgery has been described as the traditional choice of therapy, thrombolytic therapy has reported high success rates in published literature. CASE REPORT This is a case report of ten patients with left-sided PV...
