Acute myocardial infarction associated with prosthetic valve leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a case report.
Johannes Rotta Detto LoriaHolger ThieleMohamed Abdel-WahabPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2020)
Subclinical leaflet thrombosis of prosthetic aortic valves is a common finding. In this case report, we show that myocardial infarction presumably due to leaflet thrombosis was the first symptom in an otherwise asymptomatic patient. This finding raises the question of the validity in distinguishing between subclinical and clinical leaflet thrombosis based on prosthetic valve function.
