Key result
Fluoroscopy confirms prosthetic valve thrombosis in an observational cohort that is ~55% female.
Why the study?
Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a life-threatening complication after valve replacement surgery often caused by poor antithrombotic status, prompting an examination of its treatment and patient clinical characteristics.
Observational (n=20)
Yes
This small observational study describes the clinical profile of patients with prosthetic valve thrombosis, noting a female predominance.
Small cohort suggests possible female predominance in prosthetic valve thrombosis; leaves open need for larger studies to confirm sex-specific risks.
Background: Prosthetic valve thrombosis is one of the most well-known life-threatening complications after valve replacement surgery. A poor antithrombotic status causes this thrombotic condition. Objective: The purpose of this study to examine how prosthetic valve thrombosis was treated at our institute. Furthermore assessed were the patients' clinical characteristics. Study design: This observational study was conducted using statistical analyses at the cardiac department of cardiology qazi hussain ahmad medical complex nowshera from jan 2021 to jan 2022 Material and Methods: this study conducted in the Department Of Cardiology Noswshera Medical College Nowshera ,Qazi Hussain Medical Complex Nowshera,kpk The study covered 20 patients who consulted the cardiology clinic between June 2020 and July 2021. The patients who were recently diagnosed with PV thrombosis were selected for further study focused on the inclusion criteria. Each patient's clinical characteristics and demographic profile were noted. In-hospital results were also examined. Results: This observational study was conducted on 20 patients. The majority were female patients (55%) among all patients in this study. Fluoroscopy was used to confirm the diagnosis further.
