Relationship Between Pulmonary Venous Flow and Prosthetic Mitral Valve Thrombosis.

CONCLUSIONS: Mitral mechanical PVT is associated with decreased systolic PVF and LAA function. The presence of obstructive PVT is associated with further limitations of diastolic flow velocity, and a compensatory prolongation of diastolic flow of the left upper pulmonary vein.
