Sumario:KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: In this case report, the utility of MDCT in elucidating the pathophysiology and etiology of prosthetic aortic valve dysfunction allowed us to distinguish thrombosis from pannus as an etiology of prosthetic valve dysfunction. MDCT also guided the success of therapy. ABSTRACT: The diagnosis and management of prosthetic aortic valve thrombosis (PAVT) is challenging. The accurate diagnosis of this entity and its prompt management is vital to improving the prognosis of PAVT patients. Multidetector CT plays a central role in this effort. We present a case of PAVT in which the use of MDCT was useful in guiding management.
