Early leaflet thrombosis complicating transcatheter implantation of a Sapien 3 valve in a native right ventricular outflow tract
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A 59-year-old female with Tetralogy of Fallot had a previous complete repair with RVOT patch enlargement. She developed subsequent severe symptomatic (NYHA III) pulmonary regurgitation with severe RV dilatation. She had a concomitant interstitial lung disease secondary to hypersensitivity pneumonitis that precluded her from cardiac surgery. After preprocedural assessment using computed tomography, echocardiography and invasive angiography we decided to implant a 29 mm Edwards Sapien 3 valve without pre-stenting. The Sapien 3 valve was implanted in a satisfactory position using rapid RV pacing. The valve appeared well expanded with good circularity on fluoroscopy. A transthoracic echocardiography on the following day showed no pulmonary regurgitation with a peak gradient of 14 mmHg across the prosthesis. At 4 weeks follow-up, the patient felt a marked improvement (NYHA II) but a CT scan showed bileaflet valve thickening with preserved stent expansion. A concomitant echo-doppler showed a significant increase of peak pulmonary gradient to 26 mmHg. After a six weeks course of warfarin therapy, the transpulmonary valve peak gradient came down to 16 mmHg and leaflet thickening resolved on CT. The Sapien 3 system helped achieve a successful transfemoral percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in a challenging native RVOT anatomy. This case was complicated by early valve thrombosis as documented by CT and was successfully treated with oral anticoagulation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
