Journal of the American College of Cardiology
PDF202313 pages3.0 MB
Mechanical prosthetic heart valves are durable but more thrombogenic than bioprostheses, necessitating lifelong anticoagulation. The document outlines the clinical presentation of MVT, which can range from incidental findings to severe cardiogenic shock. It emphasizes the importance of multimodality imaging for diagnosis and details various treatment options, including surgical intervention, anticoagulation, and thrombolysis, tailored to the patient's condition and comorbidities.
