Abstract:
We report 2 cases of prosthetic valve thrombosis after percutaneous tricuspid valve replacement. Serial transthoracic echocardiography during follow-up demonstrated a slight increase in the transprosthetic gradient, with the appearance of a small intraprosthetic leak. In both cases, the diagnosis was challenging; however, the contribution of multimodal imaging was decisive in confirming thrombosis.
