description BACKGROUND: Valve thrombosis – either biological or mechanical – is proved to increase patient’s morbidity and mortality. No consensus exist on the best management in such cases. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 69-year-old man presenting with a late thrombosis of a transcatheter aortic valve who was medically managed until he acutely worsened, developing myocardial ischemia and cardiogenic shock. CONCLUSION: This unlucky case raises a word of caution about the safety of a reactive management.
