Impression: Metallic aortic valve thrombosis in a recent CVA
The Echo clips in apical 5 chamber view show there is a metallic prosthesis in aortic position. There is severe aortic restenosis. The peak / mean systolic gradient across the aortic valve are 156/112 mm Hg. The aortic valve area by continuity is 0.7 sq cm. There is moderately severe (Grade III/IV) intravalvar leak. There is a suggestion of thrombus on aortic valve measuring 12 x 18 mm. Echo features are suggestive of a stuck valve
