Early thrombosis of a tricuspid annuloplasty ring and mild hyperhomocysteinemia

Mario Castaño et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2011 Dec.

Abstract

Tricuspid annuloplasty ring thrombosis is an extremely infrequent pathology, and no evidence-based antithrombotic management has been described. We present the case of a 40-year-old female with isolated mild hyperhomocysteinemia and early ring thrombus formation after surgical primary closure of an atrial septal defect and ring tricuspid annuloplasty. Clinical management, antithrombotic treatment, and hyperhomocysteinemia implications are discussed.
