Pregnancy with mechanical valves requires anticoagulation, the risk of bleeding and embryopathy associated with oral anticoagulation must be weighed against the risk of valve thrombosis. In the presence of a mechanical valve thrombosis, an appropriate treatment modality must be selected. Prosthetic valve thrombosis during pregnancy requires immediate therapy such as valve replacement, thrombolytic therapy, or surgical thrombectomy. A course of thrombolytic therapy may be considered as a first-line therapy for prosthetic heart valve thrombosis. We describe a primigravida (second trimester) with mitral valve replacement status presenting with acute prosthetic valve thrombosis and treated successfully with intravenous streptokinase.

Abstract A 11-year-old with history of mitral valve replacement presented with low-grade fever, breathlessness and multiple episodes of haemoptysis for 2 days. Detailed echocardiographic evaluation revealed possible prosthetic valve thrombosis, which was confirmed by fluoroscopy. She was thrombolysed with low dose infusion of tenecteplase. Post thrombolysis her symptoms improved, valve mobility was restored, and haemoptysis subsided. Left sided prosthetic valve thrombosis presenting predominantly with haemoptysis is very rare.
