Thrombolytic therapy after cardiac arrest in patients with mechanical aortic valve thrombosis.
Journal of Cardiology Cases 2024 March
UNLABELLED: A 68-year-old woman with history of aortic valve replacement developed severe heart failure and cardiac arrest. Transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography showed mechanical aortic valve thrombosis. Low-dose, ultraslow infusion of tissue-plasminogen activator was performed while the patient was in a critically ill condition, resulting in the improvement of thrombus burden and structural valve deterioration.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Mechanical valve thrombosis can be an underlying mechanism of severe heart failure, in which systemic thrombolytic therapy in a low-dose, ultraslow, and prolonged manner may improve clinical outcomes, even in critically ill patients.
