ABSTRACT
Prosthetic valve thrombosis, although rare, is a life-threatening complication of valve replacement surgery. The authors present an atypical case of a modified Bentall procedure with the CarboSeal Valsalva™ conduit complicated by an early mechanical prosthetic aortic valve thrombosis and coronary embolism. The patient was successfully treated with an emergency percutaneous coronary angioplasty and intracoronary thrombus aspiration of the left anterior descending artery, followed by a systemic 10 mg bolus of tissue plasminogen activator followed by ultraslow (25 h) infusion of low-dose (25 mg), while supported with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
