Using reteplase for treatment of prosthesis thrombosis is rarely reported. We report the first case in Iran of a thrombosed pulmonary valve in a patient who had undergone repair of tetralogy of Fallot, which was successfully treated twice with intravenous thrombolytic therapy with reteplase. Keywords: pulmonary valve thrombosis, reteplase, thrombolysis, recombinant plasminogen activator |
