T
welve-year-old girl was admitted due to accidentally finding thrombus above aortic valve during control examination. Left
Ventricular assistant devices Heart Ware was implanted for the patients three months earlier due to dilated cardiomyopathy.
After this she was onAcenocumarol treatment (dosage is change based on currently, daily INR value). Patient since implantation
had been undergoing systematically clinician control which includes echocardiography examination. During one of them a
thrombus on aortic valve was detected. Physicians advised for immediate hospitalization of the patient; and fibrinolysis (Actylise
and Heparin) was activated. Day by day echocardiography examinations founded thrombus degradation. We figured out that
the possible reasons of valve vegetation may be bad oral cavity condition. Decision of sedation was made after consulting the
dentistry. Before planning sedation day, the Acenocumarol was stopped and patient was on heparin. Tooth treatment had been
performed with general anesthesia in operating theater. During those procedures, the extraction of 3 teeth was made; also
2 teeth were filled by composite and carious lesions were treated. After extraction, the bleeding occurred and due to LVAD
patients antithrombotic therapy could not be stopped at all. Only available option was local pressure with tampons soaked with
Exacyl (antifibrinolytic hemostatic used in severe hemorrhage). After oral cavity recovery and setting the Acenocumarol dose
patient was sent home. Ten-day post discharge, patient had got control cardiology visit. There was no thrombus in the hearts
valves since the oral cavity sedation had been performed.
