In recent years, the field of transcatheter heart valve interventional therapy has developed rapidly. Valvular thrombosis is a rare postoperative complication, which can affect valvular function early or lead to clinical embolic events, and is gradually being valued by surgeons. The clinical manifestations of thrombosis after different types of interventional valve replacement are different. Although anticoagulant therapy is believed to be effective for valve thrombosis, the selection of anticoagulant drugs and the duration of anticoagulation are still controversial. This article reviews the definition, clinical features, prevention and treatment of valve thrombosis after several types of transcatheter heart valve replacement, mainly related to transcatheter aortic valve replacement and transcatheter mitral valve replacement, and aims to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of valve thrombosis after transcatheter heart valve replacement.
