Patients with a mechanical prosthetic heart valve implantation need to be treated with a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) due to a substantially high risk of thromboembolism. In this study we report data on patients with mechanical heart valves (MV), with the aim of evaluating the thromboembolic risk in relation to the type and site of implantation, quality of anticoagulation and risk factors associated with thromboembolism.

Abstract
Patients with a mechanical prosthetic heart valve implantation need to be treated with a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) due to a substantially high risk of thromboembolism. In this study we report data on patients with mechanical heart valves (MV), with the aim of evaluating the thromboembolic risk in relation to the type and site of implantation, quality of anticoagulation and risk factors associated with thromboembolism.
