High risk of thromboemboli early after bioprosthetic cardiac valve replacement

Abstract: Thromboembolic risk was especially high for aortic and mitral valve replacement for 90 days after operation, and overall was increased with lack of anticoagulation, mitral valve location, previous thromboembolism and increasing age. Anticoagulation reduced thromboemboli and appears to be indicated in all patients as early as possible for 3 months and thereafter in those with risk factors, but needs prospective testing.

“…11 In our study, most common valve involved with obstruction was mitral 17(73.9%) patients followed by aortic valve 6 (26.1%) patients. In a study by Gupta et al, 87.3% of the PVT episodes occurred in the mitral position.…”

“…Nevertheless, structural valve deterioration is well known with surgical bioprostheses, and definitive assessments of valve durability will require much longer follow-up. [24][25][26] A design limitation of transcatheter aortic valves has been paravalvular regurgitation, which results from incomplete circumferential apposition of the prosthesis with the annulus. Several reports have indicated a relation between paravalvular regurgitation and mortality, but the certainty of these findings has been limited by the lack of standardization of methods to assess aortic regurgitation.…”

“…The rate of thromboembolism in patients undergoing bioprosthetic replacement of the mitral valve, during the first 10 days was 55%/year, 11 to 90 days was 10%/year and after 90 days was 2.4%/year. The complication of MVR was significantly higher than after 10 days [9]. The first several days from surgery are very important for the evaluation of MVR.…”

“…Glutaraldehyde and Polyepoxy compounds (Denacol EX-313) have been used for bioprosthetic valves to reduce thrombosis and tissue antigenicity [19,20]. In mitral valve recipients, the rate of thromboembolism during the first 10 days was significantly higher than after 10 days [9]. The first several days from the perioperative period are very important for the evaluation of the MVR.…”
