Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis is considered extremely unlikely, thus usually allowing patients to avoid long-term anticoagulation. The authors report the case of a patient with late bioprosthetic mitral valve thrombosis associated with a history of postoperative heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The patient successfully underwent mitral valve replacement.
