Why the study?
Coronary embolization in patients with mechanical valves is considered rare with unknown incidence, and consensus is lacking regarding effective treatment and removal methods.
Coronary embolism from a mechanical valve thrombus due to subtherapeutic anticoagulation can be successfully managed with percutaneous angioplasty and optimization of anticoagulation.
Nonadherence to anticoagulation precipitated coronary embolism from mechanical mitral valve; leaves open consensus on optimal removal strategies.
