The value of brain natriuretic peptide in the prosthetic valve thrombosis
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020)
We aimed to investigate how prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) affects brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and how BNP changes following thrombolytic therapy. The study included 70 consecutive patients with left-sided ...
Normal reference values for mechanical mitral prosthetic valve inner diameters and areas assessed by two-dimensional and real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography
(Springer, 2021)
It was previously observed that two dimensional (2D) Doppler derived and real-time three-dimensional (RT-3D) directly measured valve areas were smaller than reported manufacturer sizes. It may be helpful to obtain the ...
Substantial Value of Cardiac Computed Tomography for the Evaluation of Patients with Suspected Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction
(Karger, 2020)
Dear Editor, We recently read with great interest the article by Hsu et al. [1] entitled ‘‘Cine-Computed Tomography for the Evaluation of Prosthetic Heart Valve Function”. We appreciate the contribution made by these authors ...
Echocardiography Aided by Computed Tomography to Diagnose Obstructive Masses in Patients with Prosthetic Heart Valves
(Texas Heart Inst, 2020)
To the Editor: We appreciate Kealhofer and colleagues’ report on their beneficial use of cardiac computed tomography (CT) for evaluating prosthetic aortic valve dysfunction.1 We want to contribute further by drawing attention ...
Management of prosthetic valve thrombosis concomitant with coronary embolism
(2019)
We have recently read with great interest the article by Olcay (1) published in Anatol J Cardiol 2018; 20: 365-7. We appreciate the author for his report describing the concomitant left main coronary artery and mitral ...
Characteristic localization patterns of thrombus on various brands of bileaflet mitral mechanical heart valves as assessed by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography and their relationship with thromboembolism
(Springer, 2021)
Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) provides detailed images of prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT). However, data regarding PVT localization patterns based on 3D-TEE and their association with clinical ...
