SAINZ GONZALEZ DE LA PENA, Benito et al. Tomographic and echocardiographic diagnosis of mitral prosthetic valve thrombosis. Rev cubana med [online]. 2010, vol.49, n.3, pp. 288-295. ISSN 1561-302X.

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.

Palabras clave : Mitral prosthetic thrombosis; transesophageal echocardiography; multislice computed tomography.
