Thromboembolism due to prosthetic heart valves

Thromboembolism due to prosthetic heart valves is a cardiovascular complication characterized by the formation of blood clots on or around an artificial heart valve and their subsequent dislodgement into the systemic or pulmonary circulation This condition primarily affects patients with mechanical or bioprosthetic valve replacements, driven by altered hemodynamics, foreign material thrombogenicity, endothelial disruption, and shear stress–induced platelet activation and coagulation cascade trig...

Thromboembolism due to prosthetic heart valves is a cardiovascular complication characterized by the formation of blood clots on or around an artificial heart valve and their subsequent dislodgement into the systemic or pulmonary circulation Clinically, it manifests either as local valve thrombosis leading to valvular obstruction and acute heart failure, or as distal embolic phenomena causing ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, or systemic organ infarction

This condition primarily affects patients with mechanical or bioprosthetic valve replacements, driven by altered hemodynamics, foreign material thrombogenicity, endothelial disruption, and shear stress–induced platelet activation and coagulation cascade triggering
