Transcatheter Heart Valve Thrombosis in a Patient With Polycythemia Vera Despite Apixaban Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation

Transcatheter Heart Valve Thrombosis in a Patient With Polycythemia Vera Despite Apixaban Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation

We present a case of transcatheter heart valve thrombosis in a 76-year-old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation on therapeutic anticoagulation with apixaban and polycythemia vera. The incidence of transcatheter heart valve thrombosis in patients with atrial fibrillation and on adequate anticoagul...
