Abstract Background Fatal thrombo-embolic events like cerebral stroke or myocardial infarction are rare complications of prosthetic heart valve leaflet thrombosis. Nevertheless, prevention and management of leaflet thrombosis is gaining increased attention, particularly with the widespread adoption of transcatheter heart valves. Case summary We herein present the case of a 79-year-old man who had undergone a transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure. Seven months later, he presented with a non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography did not reveal obstructive lesions. A dedicated cardiac computed tomography scan showed thrombosis of both right- and non-coronary leaflets of the prosthetic aortic valve, while prosthetic valve function was normal on echocardiography. Transmural myocardial infarction lesions in the midventricular and apical inferior wall were detected by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Discussion Subclinical leaflet thrombosis of prosthetic aortic valves is a common finding. In this case report, we show that myocardial infarction presumably due to leaflet thrombosis was the first symptom in an otherwise asymptomatic patient. This finding raises the question of the validity in distinguishing between subclinical and clinical leaflet thrombosis based on prosthetic valve function.

Abstract Background The increasing number of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in the last few years has unveiled a unique set of events and complications that need prompt recognition and management in order to improve patient outcomes, often involving a multidisciplinary team. Case summary We present a case of a 86-year-old woman with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis that underwent a TAVI and, in the post-procedure period, presented with acute abundant haematemesis, haemodynamic instability, and haemoglobin drop. The diagnosis of acute necrotizing oesophagitis (ANE) was made by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Discussion Acute necrotizing oesophagitis is a rare entity caused usually by an ischaemic insult in the presence of predisposing factors; it has a high rate of complications and mortality. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first clinical case report to describe the occurrence of ANE as a possible complication of TAVI and is also an example of the importance of the multidisciplinary approach of these complex patients, which extends even beyond the concept of Heart Team.
