THE ROLE OF ANTICOAGULATION THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH PROSTHETIC HEART VALVES by N. A. Shostak, A. A. Klimenko, D. Y. Andriyashkina, A. A. Kondrashov, A. V. Novikova

“…International recommendations take into account the presence/absence of additional risk factors for thromboembolism, and based on warfarin administration with the achievement of target INR values combined with low-dose aspirin. Administration of novel direct oral anticoagulation remedies in patients with prosthetic heart valves has not been studied sufficiently up to date and is contraindicated. …”

Thrombosis of Prosthetic Cardiac Valve: Difficulties of Diagnostics on the Example of a Clinical Case with Lethal Outcome by A. A. Novoselova, S. S. Yakushin

“…At the same time, the negative dynamics of the cardiac ultrasound data were underestimated: the appearance of prosthetic dysfunction, an increase in the degree of valve regurgitation, severe pulmonary hypertension, as well as anamnestic data (double acute cerebrovascular accident and lack of INR control for a long time, lability of its values during index hospitalization).This case can be important in terms of clarifying the reasons for the decompensation of chronic cardiac failure in patients with valvular defects and mechanical valve prosthetics, especially in cases of irregular INR monitoring or not being it in the target range, and progressive negative dynamics of the cardiac ultrasound data.…”
