Combined warfarin and antiplatelet therapy after St. Jude Medical valve replacement for mitral valve disease.
OBJECTIVES The clinical effect of combined warfarin and antiplatelet therapy on the incidence of stroke and postoperative complications after mitral (plus aortic) valve replacement was studied and compared with that observed with warfarin therapy alone. BACKGROUND It has been reported that combined warfarin and antiplatelet therapy may be effective but may be associated with an increased hemo...
متن کاملRight sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.
Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...
متن کاملpregnancy outcome after mechanical mitral valve replacement: a prospective study
background: pregnant patients with mechanical heart valves require anticoagulation. the risk of bleeding and embryopathy associated with oral anticoagulants must be weighed against the risk of valve thrombosis. methods: in this prospective study, undertaken between 1999 and 2009, 53 pregnancies (47 women with mechanical mitral valves; 29.8 ± 4.8 years old) were studied. patients were divided in...
متن کاملAnticoagulant therapy after prosthetic valve replacement -optimal PT-INR in Japanese patients-.
Values of the international normalized ratio of prothrombin time (PT-INR) were analyzed at the time when anticoagulant-related complications developed in patients undergoing prosthetic valve replacement so as to evaluate the optimal therapeutic range in PT-INR value in Japanese patients. A total of 102 patients with a prosthetic heart valve who have been followed up at our department during the...
