Acute Myocardial Infarction as the Initial Manifestation of Delayed Bioprosthesis Thrombosis After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
Heart, Lung & Circulation 2018 April
Bioprosthesis thrombosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) raised concerns about further clinical events. We report the case of a patient who suffered acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after TAVR for 3 years. Thrombosis was confirmed in the right coronary sinus of Valsalva by transthoracic echocardiography. Coronary angiography demonstrated the ostium of the right coronary artery was occluded. As an attempt to perform percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was unsuccessful, long-term therapeutic anticoagulation with warfarin was undertaken. Within 2 weeks, symptoms were relieved, and the right coronary ostium thrombus disappeared on computed tomography (CT) angiography. This case highlights the AMI as initial manifestation of delayed bioprosthesis thrombosis and the importance of anticoagulation against the bioprosthesis thrombosis. Meanwhile, the difficulty of PCI after TAVR is not only the stent frame of bioprosthesis, but also the location of the thrombosis.
