Long-term anticoagulation manages coronary embolism-induced ACS after IV thrombolysis for mechanical aortic valve thrombosis.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the risk of coronary embolism during fibrinolysis for mechanical valve thrombosis and suggests conservative management with long-term anticoagulation as a viable strategy.

Conservative management may be feasible after thrombolysis-related embolism in prosthetic valves; leaves open validation of suggested algorithms.
Aoun et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Mechanical Prosthetic Aortic Valve Thrombosis (n=1). Intravenous thrombolysis was evaluated. Intravenous thrombolysis for mechanical aortic valve thrombosis was complicated by an acute coronary syndrome related to coronary embolism, which was successfully managed with long-term anticoagulation.
