The development of valvular strands during thrombolytic therapy detected by transesophageal echocardiography
1Cardiology Unit, University of Rochester, School of Medicine, NY 14642, USA.
Abstract:
A case report of a patient who had valvular strands while undergoing treatment with thrombolytic therapy for prosthetic mitral valve thrombosis is presented. The development of valvular strands during thrombolytic therapy provides unique evidence supporting a thrombotic/fibrotic origin to this relatively common finding on transesophageal echocardiography.
