Thrombolytic Treatment of Thrombosis on the Aortic Valvular Prosthesis Complicated by Brain Embolism

Thrombolytic Treatment of Thrombosis on the Aortic Valvular Prosthesis Complicated by Brain Embolism

The authors present a case of thrombosis on the St. Jude Medical 19 aortic valve prosthesis. The diagnosis was confirmed by transthoracic and transoesofageal echocardiography, cardiac fluoroscopy revealed restricted movement of the aortic valve prosthesis leaflet. Thrombolytic therapy was complicate...
