Abstract

Mechanical prosthetic valves, like all foreign bodies, are thrombogenic, requiring anticoagulation to avoid thrombosis and reduce the risk of catastrophic stroke. We reported a case of a 42-year-old female that developed mechanical valve thrombosis and was successfully treated with low infusion thrombolytic therapy using Alteplase (Tpa).
