Summary

Despite high mortality and morbidity, the best treatment strategies for prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) have been controversial. In this study the investigators wanted to identify the most effective and safe regimen among different thrombolytic strategies.Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guided thrombolytic treatment was administered to 182 consecutive patients with PVT in 220 different episodes (156 women, mean age 43.2±13.06 years) between 1993 and 2009. These regimens included rapid streptokinase (Group I, 16 episodes), slow streptokinase (Group II, 41 episodes), high dose (100 mg) tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) (Group III, 12 episodes), half-dose (50 mg) slow infusion (6-hours) of t-PA without bolus (Group IV, 27 episodes), and low dose (25 mg) and slow infusion (6-hours) of t-PA without bolus (Group V, 124 episodes). The study endpoints were thrombolytic success and in-hospital mortality and non-fatal complication rates.

Conditions

  • Prosthetic Valve Thrombosis

Interventions

DRUG

Streptokinase

3-hour infusion of 1.5 million units of streptokinase (16 patients, 16 episodes), repeat once 24 hours later if needed (maximum total dose 3 million units)

DRUG

Streptokinase

24-hour infusion of 1.5 million units of streptokinase (41 patients, 41 episodes), repeat once 24 hours later if needed (maximum total dose 3 million units).

DRUG

Tissue plasminogen activator

5-hour infusion of 90 mg t-PA (Tissue plasminogen activator) after 10 mg bolus (10 patients, 12 episodes), repeat once 24 hours later if needed (maximum total dose 200 mg)

DRUG

Tissue Plasminogen Activator

6-hour infusion of 50 mg t-PA (Tissue plasminogen activator) without bolus (27 patients, 27 episodes), repeat once 24 hours later up to 3 times if needed (maximum total dose 150 mg).

DRUG

Tissue Plasminogen Activator

6-hour infusion of 25 mg t-PA (Tissue plasminogen activator) without bolus (108 patients, 124 episodes), repeat once 24 hours later up to 6 times if needed (maximum total dose 150 mg).
