with streptokinase &#40;SK&#41; in a pregnant patient with prosthetic valve thrombosis &#40;PVT&#41;&#46; At the same time&#44; we want to make some important points regarding major issues with patient management and TT regimens for PVT in pregnancy&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Pregnancy is a highly thrombogenic state which poses an increased risk of thrombosis in women with mechanical prosthetic valves&#46; PVT in pregnancy is potentially life-threatening for both mother and fetus and management strategies are the subject of debate&#46; Common available treatment modalities for this serious complication include optimized anticoagulation&#44; TT<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#8211;5</span></a> and surgery&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> each with its pros and cons&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Surgery is suggested as a first-line strategy in most cases with left-sided PVT&#59; however&#44; TT has recently been used with successful outcomes&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#8211;5</span></a> We have recently reported that low dose &#40;25 mg&#41; and slow infusion &#40;six hours&#41; of tissue-type plasminogen activator &#40;t-PA&#41; is the safest TT regimen for PVT without compromising effectiveness as compared with higher doses and rapid infusions of SK or tPA&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> The TROIA trial showed that tPA was superior to SK in terms of success and complication rates&#44; and accelerated TT regimens &#40;either tPA or SK&#41; were associated with higher mortality and complication rates&#46; However&#44; due to the higher costs of tPA treatment&#44; SK is still widely used for TT in developing countries&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although no evidence-based guidelines for pregnant patients complicated with PVT are currently available&#44; recommendations for this complication are similar to those for the management of PVT in non-pregnant patients&#59; definitive class I recommendations are lacking due to the absence of randomized controlled trials&#46; We have previously reported that low dose &#40;25 mg&#41; and slow infusion &#40;six hours&#41; of t-PA without bolus under the guidance of serial transesophageal echocardiography &#40;TEE&#41; is very safe and associated with very high thrombolytic success in pregnant patients with PVT&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> In this single-center prospective study including a relatively large number of pregnant patients with PVT&#44; this strategy was associated with successful thrombolysis in all patients&#44; with lower maternal and fetal adverse events compared with surgery or anticoagulation based on the available published data&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The lack of TEE guidance during TT is another drawback of the current report&#46; Although transthoracic echocardiography &#40;TTE&#41; is an essential part of the diagnostic assessment of a patient with PVT&#44; its value is usually limited because of a certain degree of acoustic shadowing and characteristic reverberations caused by the prosthetic material itself&#46; On the other hand TEE&#44; with its high resolution&#44; has indispensable value to assess thrombus size&#44; mobility and location&#44; which may help in decision-making regarding thrombolysis&#44; anticoagulation and surgery&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7&#44;8</span></a> Moreover&#44; TEE provides direct imaging of thrombus in the left atrium or the left atrial appendage&#44; which usually cannot be detected with TTE&#46; The presence of a left atrial thrombus is accepted as a contraindication for thrombolysis and should be ruled out by TEE before TT&#46; Finally&#44; the reduction of thrombus burden and need for additional TT sessions can be evaluated only by TEE&#46; A non-obstructive residual thrombus after the first TT session cannot be diagnosed without TEE&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As a result&#44; we can conclude that TT with low-dose &#40;25 mg&#41; slow infusion &#40;six hours&#41; of tPA should be considered as the first-line therapy for pregnant PVT patients unless contraindicated&#44; since cardiac surgery exposes mother and the fetus to a greater risk than does TT&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> Serial TEE guidance should complement TTE in every step of the management algorithm in patients undergoing TT for PVT&#46;</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"

with streptokinase &#40;SK&#41; in a pregnant patient with prosthetic valve thrombosis &#40;PVT&#41;&#46; At the same time&#44; we want to make some important points regarding major issues with patient management and TT regimens for PVT in pregnancy&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Pregnancy is a highly thrombogenic state which poses an increased risk of thrombosis in women with mechanical prosthetic valves&#46; PVT in pregnancy is potentially life-threatening for both mother and fetus and management strategies are the subject of debate&#46; Common available treatment modalities for this serious complication include optimized anticoagulation&#44; TT<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#8211;5</span></a> and surgery&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> each with its pros and cons&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Surgery is suggested as a first-line strategy in most cases with left-sided PVT&#59; however&#44; TT has recently been used with successful outcomes&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#8211;5</span></a> We have recently reported that low dose &#40;25 mg&#41; and slow infusion &#40;six hours&#41; of tissue-type plasminogen activator &#40;t-PA&#41; is the safest TT regimen for PVT without compromising effectiveness as compared with higher doses and rapid infusions of SK or tPA&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> The TROIA trial showed that tPA was superior to SK in terms of success and complication rates&#44; and accelerated TT regimens &#40;either tPA or SK&#41; were associated with higher mortality and complication rates&#46; However&#44; due to the higher costs of tPA treatment&#44; SK is still widely used for TT in developing countries&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although no evidence-based guidelines for pregnant patients complicated with PVT are currently available&#44; recommendations for this complication are similar to those for the management of PVT in non-pregnant patients&#59; definitive class I recommendations are lacking due to the absence of randomized controlled trials&#46; We have previously reported that low dose &#40;25 mg&#41; and slow infusion &#40;six hours&#41; of t-PA without bolus under the guidance of serial transesophageal echocardiography &#40;TEE&#41; is very safe and associated with very high thrombolytic success in pregnant patients with PVT&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> In this single-center prospective study including a relatively large number of pregnant patients with PVT&#44; this strategy was associated with successful thrombolysis in all patients&#44; with lower maternal and fetal adverse events compared with surgery or anticoagulation based on the available published data&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The lack of TEE guidance during TT is another drawback of the current report&#46; Although transthoracic echocardiography &#40;TTE&#41; is an essential part of the diagnostic assessment of a patient with PVT&#44; its value is usually limited because of a certain degree of acoustic shadowing and characteristic reverberations caused by the prosthetic material itself&#46; On the other hand TEE&#44; with its high resolution&#44; has indispensable value to assess thrombus size&#44; mobility and location&#44; which may help in decision-making regarding thrombolysis&#44; anticoagulation and surgery&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7&#44;8</span></a> Moreover&#44; TEE provides direct imaging of thrombus in the left atrium or the left atrial appendage&#44; which usually cannot be detected with TTE&#46; The presence of a left atrial thrombus is accepted as a contraindication for thrombolysis and should be ruled out by TEE before TT&#46; Finally&#44; the reduction of thrombus burden and need for additional TT sessions can be evaluated only by TEE&#46; A non-obstructive residual thrombus after the first TT session cannot be diagnosed without TEE&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As a result&#44; we can conclude that TT with low-dose &#40;25 mg&#41; slow infusion &#40;six hours&#41; of tPA should be considered as the first-line therapy for pregnant PVT patients unless contraindicated&#44; since cardiac surgery exposes mother and the fetus to a greater risk than does TT&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> Serial TEE guidance should complement TTE in every step of the management algorithm in patients undergoing TT for PVT&#46;</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"
