Abstract

Background: Prosthetic heart valve thrombosis (PHVT) is a very rare complication after the replacement of a damaged valve by a mechanical valve. It contributes significantly to the late morbidity and mortality after heart valve surgery. The incidence varies across the world depending on the type of mechanical heart valve and its position.
