Bridging Anticoagulation with Mechanical Heart Valves: Current Guidelines and Clinical Decisions
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Current Cardiology Reports"
DOI: 10.1007/s11886-020-01390-2
Abstract: The management of patients with mechanical heart valves who require surgery or invasive procedures is a common clinical scenario in contemporary practice. The risk of thromboembolism versus the risk of bleeding is the foundation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2018.07.065
Abstract: We read with interest the results of the PROACT (Prospective Randomized On-X Anticoagulation Trial) trial [(1)][1], which evaluated possible alternatives to standard warfarin therapy for carriers of a low-thrombogenicity mechanical heart valve (MHV). We comment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2019.04.024
Abstract: Left ventricular flow is intrinsically complex, three-dimensional and unsteady. Its features are susceptible to cardiovascular pathology and treatment, in particular to surgical interventions involving the valves (mitral valve replacement). To improve our understanding of intraventricular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehy056
Abstract: Aims Evidence is lacking regarding acute anticoagulation management in patients after intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) with implanted mechanical heart valves (MHVs). Our objective was to investigate anticoagulation reversal and resumption strategies by evaluating incidences of haemorrhagic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/jxx.0000000000000537
Abstract: ABSTRACT Background: Patients with mechanical heart valves (MHVs) require long-term oral anticoagulation therapy to protect against thromboembolisms. Invasive procedures with high bleeding risks require oral anticoagulation therapy cessation. Currently, guidelines recommend the use of either… read more here.
