Insuficiencia cardíaca: Seguimiento en la consulta de atención primaria

Abstract

Thrombotic events after rivaroxaban therapy are rare in non-valvular disease and there is paucity of data for NOAC therapy related to valve thrombosis. In our case, severe heart failure 1 year and a half after PV replacement, in a patient taking anticoagulant therapy, was unexpected. The diagnosis of valve thrombosis was revealed by echocardiography, and confirmed by computed tomography. We did not find any sign of thrombophilia, or any mechanical reason for valve thrombosis.
