Diagnóstico ecocardiográfico y tomográfico en trombosis protésica mitral

despite the progress achieved in the design of mechanical prosthetic valves, prosthetic valve thrombosis remains a frequent cause of morbidity, usually due to incorrect anticoagulation. a patient was presented with mitral prosthetic thrombosis one year after implantation, who had been diagnosed by transthoracic transesophageal echocardiography imaging and 64-slice computed tomography. thrombolytic therapy was successful and led to the satisfactory evolution of the patient.
