Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To report a rare case of fatal early acute thrombosis of mechanical mitral prosthesis. METHODS: A 62-year-old lady, who underwent closed mitral valvotomy for rheumatic heart disease 19 years ago, presented with Canadian Cardiovascular Society Class II angina and New York Heart Association Class III dyspnoea. Investigations including echocardiogram and cardiac catheterisation revealed mixed mitral valve disease. She had severe pulmonary artery hypertension with pulmonary artery wedge pressure of 35 mm of mercury. Significant stenosis in the midportion of dominant right coronary artery was also demonstrated. She underwent mitral valve replacement using mechanical tilting disc prosthesis, DeVega tricuspid annuloplasty and saphenous vein bypass graft to the distal right coronary artery. After having made satisfactory early postoperative progress, she suffered an asystolic cardiac arrest about 26 h postoperatively. RESULTS: The patient succumbed despite all resuscitative measures. Autopsy revealed an adherent thrombus occluding the atrial surface of the minor orifice of mechanical prosthesis, which prevented the valve from functioning. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) occurring on the first postoperative day in a patient with a mechanical valve prosthesis, without any circulatory assist device.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
