Successful thrombolytic treatment of prosthetic mitral valve thrombosis
Prosthetic heart valve thrombosis is a rare but serious complication. Surgery is the first-line therapy in symptomatic obstructive mechanical valve thrombosis, thrombolytic therapy has been used as an alternative to surgical treatment. In this case report we described a 47-year-old woman who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft and mitral valve replacement operation 9 months ago. A thrombus was detected on the prosthetic mitral valve with high transmitral gradient by transoesophageal echocardiography. Tissue plasminogen activator treatment was administered successfully. The gradient was improved on prosthetic mitral valve and embolic complications or bleeding were not occurred.
INTRODUCTION ::: The aim of this study was to determine whether the new robot hand technique can help to avoid the complication in the course of high precise microneurosurgical operations. ::: ::: ::: METHODS ::: The physical efficacy was measured by tremorometry. The comparative study of the incidence of complications measured the clinical efficacy. ::: ::: ::: RESULTS ::: The tremors of the operating hand and the number of complications have decreased effectively. ::: ::: ::: CONCLUSION ::: The precise level of robots could be available by novel robot hand technique. By this technique the microsurgical work has become more effective.
