Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Hematology

Context:

  • Thrombosis of mechanical heart valves presents a significant clinical challenge.
  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial for effective intervention.
  • Surgical management involves valve re-replacement or thrombus removal.

Purpose:

  • To present and discuss clinical experiences in treating thrombosed mechanical heart prostheses.
  • To analyze surgical indications, operative approaches, and techniques.
  • To evaluate outcomes and identify areas for future research.

Summary:

  • Fifteen patients underwent procedures including mitral (10), aortic (3), and tricuspid (2) re-replacement, and one thrombus removal.
  • Procedures were performed via re-do sternotomy or thoracotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass.
