BIOLOGICAL VALVE PROSTHESIS THROMBOSIS

A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Valve bioprosthesis thrombosis is a possible complication inherent in cardiac valve replacement surgery. It is a delicate condition that often requires a new surgical intervention. Although little recognized in the literature, biological valve prosthesis thrombosis has been increasing, especially with the advent of transcatheter valve implantation. Despite this, research on the subject remains scarce, which makes the actual number of cases of this event underestimated, with a slow and inadequate treatment response. The present study aims to expose, from a case report, the thrombosis of a biological prosthesis implanted in the mitral position.
