Abstract:
Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a rare but life-threatening complication. It has an incidence of 6.1% in developing countries and 0.3%-1.3% in developed countries. The first-line treatment for the right-sided PVT is fibrinolytic therapy with streptokinase or recombinant tissue plasminogen activators, but there are limited cases that were treated with recombinant plasminogen activators. A 57-year-old female with a history of Trido valve surgery and persistent atrial fibrillation rhythm was hospitalized for recurrent tricuspid mechanical valve thrombosis multiple times. The patient was treated with fibrinolytics successfully three times. We report a rare case of recurrent tricuspid mechanical valve thrombosis that is treated with IV reteplase twice.
