FERNANDEZ, Amparo; ASADURIAN, Pablo; KUSTER, Fernando  y  DAYAN, Víctor. Biological prosthetic valve thrombosis. Rev.Urug.Cardiol. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.2, pp.226-243.  Epub 01-Ago-2020. ISSN 0797-0048.  https://doi.org/10.29277/cardio.35.2.15.

Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis was considered a relatively rare entity. However, due to the increased use of bioprostheses in cardiac surgery and the advent of transcatheter biological prostheses, it has acquired more attention as a cause of prosthetic dysfunction. The long-term relevance of subclinical thrombosis has not yet been elucidated, nor are the optimal therapeutic strategies to prevent bioprosthetic valve thrombosis or thromboembolic complications. This review aims to provide a summary of the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of bioprosthetic valve thrombosis to contribute to the knowledge of this pathology.

Palabras clave : Thrombosis; Bioprosthesis; Aortic Valve; Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement; Thromboembolism; Anticoagulants.
