Key result
Percutaneous catheter manipulation using a rigid catheter successfully re-established valve disk mobility for temporary hemodynamic stabilization in a patient with acute prosthetic valve thrombosis.
Why the study?
Does percutaneous catheter manipulation re-establish valve disk mobility and provide temporary hemodynamic stabilization in an acutely compromised patient with acute prosthetic valve thrombosis?

Does percutaneous catheter manipulation re-establish valve disk mobility and provide temporary hemodynamic stabilization in an acutely compromised patient with acute prosthetic valve thrombosis?
Percutaneous catheter manipulation may serve as a bridge to definitive surgical therapy by providing temporary hemodynamic stabilization in patients with acute prosthetic valve thrombosis.
Jabbour et al. (1996) conducted a case report in Acute prosthetic valve thrombosis (n=1). Percutaneous catheter manipulation was evaluated on Re-establishment of valve disk mobility and temporary hemodynamic stabilization. Percutaneous catheter manipulation using a rigid catheter successfully re-established valve disk mobility for temporary hemodynamic stabilization in a patient with acute prosthetic valve thrombosis.
