Cardiac Computed Tomography for Cardioembolic Stroke Evaluation in a Patient With a Mechanical Aortic Valve.

We present a case of cardioembolic stroke in a patient with a history of mechanical aortic valve who was compliant with anticoagulation medication. Cardiac computed tomography was used as an alternative, noninvasive means of evaluation for the cardioembolic source of stroke and identified subvalvular mobile pannus of the mechanical aortic valve.

We experienced a case of surgical aortic valve re-replacement due to structural valve deterioration caused by pannus formation 4 years after transcatheter aortic valve replacement( TAVR). The patient underwent surgery because the mean transvalvular pressure gradient increased to 48 mmHg on echocardiography. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was useful for predicting the site of adhesion to surrounding tissue preoperatively and exploring the presence of the pannus.

Mechanical valve obstructions are critical medical and surgical emergencies that require immediate attention when patients present with new complaints and exhibit signs such as the onset of murmurs or the disappearance of mechanical valve clicks. Obstructions can arise from various causes, including pannus formation, thrombus, vegetations, or subvalvular tissue growth. While pannus formations have been previously reported for the mitral valve, they are less commonly observed in the aortic valve, and several hypotheses have been proposed to understand pannus formation.

From the Departments of Radiology (P.S.R., T.A.F., E.E.W.) and Cardiology (P.R., M.F.E.), Mayo Clinic, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN 55905; and Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Mass (V.B., S.S.H.).
Transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVIs) comprise a variety of catheter-based interventional techniques for treatment of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients at high surgical risk and those with failed previous surgeries. Several TTVI devices with different mechanisms of action are either currently used or in preclinical evaluation. Echocardiography is the first-line modality for evaluation of tricuspid valve disease that provides information on tricuspid valve morphology, mechanism of TR, and hemodynamics.

Reoperations for a dysfunctional mechanical aortic valve prosthesis are usually performed with a repeat sternotomy. Reopening the chest may be associated with a heart structure tear, bleeding, excessive transfusion, and a possible unfavorable outcome. Experience performing a redo aortic valve replacement with a minimally invasive approach and avoiding lysis of the pericardial adhesions is growing.
