title: [Analysis of Cases of Thrombolytic Therapy Administration for Acute Thrombosis of Mechanical Prosthetic Valves].
abstract: Mechanical prosthetic valve thrombosis is a life-threatening complication that in most cases requires urgent re-intervention. A significant risk of intraoperative complications, death and presence of a small fresh thrombus suggest thrombolytic therapy to be an alternative option of treatment because of a relatively low risk of the procedure. This article presents successful experience of systemic thrombolysis in patients with acute thrombosis of mechanical prosthetic valves.
