Spontaneous normalization of valve function after failed fibrinolytic therapy for left-sided prosthetic valve thrombosis

residual valve dysfunction after FT normalizes spontaneously in nearly one-half the patients, but the risk of major adverse events is prohibitively high, particularly among patients who do not show improvement in functional class after FT. [...]these patients should be triaged for early redo surgery irrespective of the reduction in transvalvular gradients.
