J Cardiothorac Surg. 2015 Apr 1:10:50. doi: 10.1186/s13019-015-0254-5.

Abstract

Bioprosthetic thromboses are rarely reported in post-transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We describe herein the case of bioprosthetic valve thrombosis in an 82-year-old patient which resolved completely after anticoagulant therapy.
