AbstractWe report a successful thrombolytic therapy for thrombosed ATS valve in the mitral position in a child. A 5-year-old girl was underwent mitral valve re-replacement with ATS mechanical valve for prosthetic valve stenosis in the mitral position. The postoperative course was uneventful, but an unilateral thrombosed leaflet of a ATS valve was observed 26 days after the operation by fluoroscopy. Thrombolytic therapy with urokinase was done and the thrombus was successfully dissolved.
