title: [Thrombosis on a mitral valve prosthesis: treatment with urokinase and color-Doppler monitoring].
abstract: A case of thrombolytic treatment with urokinase on a Sorin mitral prosthesis is described. Thrombolytic therapy, that is an alternative to valvular replacement was effective. Color-Doppler showed as a reliable method to monitor therapy effectiveness. However, a serious complication was cerebral embolism.
