JACC Case Rep. 2024 Dec 4;30(1):102749. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2024.102749. eCollection 2025 Jan 1.

Abstract

A 79-year-old woman, previously treated for congenital pulmonary valve stenosis through surgical and transcatheter procedures, presented with worsening dyspnea. This led to the identification of valve thrombosis in her bioprosthetic pulmonary valve. This report delves into the clinical importance of obstructive valve thrombosis, its diagnostic assessment, and potential therapeutic strategies. This is the first documented case of valve-in-valve thrombosis involving the transcatheter pulmonary valve.

Keywords: bioprosthetic pulmonic valve; pulmonic stenosis; transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement; valve thrombosis.
