Coronary embolism due to probable clinical bioprosthetic aortic valve thrombosis: a case report.
Roshan Arjun AnandaZhihua ZhangPublished in: BMC cardiovascular disorders (2023)
We experienced a case of coronary embolism in a patient with probable BPVT. Reversible bioprosthetic valve hemodynamic deterioration after anticoagulation strongly supports the diagnosis in the absence of histopathology. Early moderate-to-severe hemodynamic valve deterioration warrants further investigations, including cardiac computed tomography and sequential echocardiography, to investigate for probable BPVT and consideration of timely anticoagulation initiation to prevent thromboembolic events.
