BACKGROUND: Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a severe and life-threatening complication. Surgery and thrombolytic therapy (TT) carry a high risk, and in several circumstances, optimal anticoagulation with unfractionated heparin (UFH) infusion may be an alternative treatment. This study aimed to assess the results of UFH in patients diagnosed with both obstructive and non-obstructive PVT.
METHODS: This observational retrospective study enrolled patients who had contraindications for TT and surgery underwent UFH therapy.
RESULTS: A total of 136 patients were enrolled [male: 55 (40.4%), mean age: 50.3 ± 14.6 years] in the study. In the successful group, 66 patients (48,5%) showed >75% regression in the thrombus burden without facing death or major non-fatal complications.In the unsuccessful group, 56 had less than a 50% reduction in thrombus load and 14 (10.3%) suffered major complications. The presence of obstruction (27.1% vs. 12.1%; p = 0.028), thrombus area 1.1 cm2 vs. 0.8 cm2; p = 0.005] and the duration of UFH treatment (15.1 vs. 11.8 (days); p = 0.005) were significantly higher in the unsuccessful UFH group.In multivariate regression analyses the presence of obstruction (RR: 3.088, p = 0.020), increased thrombus area (RR: 2.400; p = 0.015), and increased duration of UFH therapy (RR: 1.073 95%, p = 0.012) were identified as independent predictive parameters for a failed UFH therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that UFH therapy may be considered a relatively beneficial treatment strategy for some patients with PVT. The most significant factors affecting success are the obstructive nature and area of the thrombus.
