TL;DR
A 47-year-old woman experienced multiple blood clots due to a rare condition involving aortic valve amyloidosis and antiphospholipid syndrome.
Contribution
Highlights a rare case of isolated aortic valve amyloidosis causing recurrent thromboembolic events in the context of antiphospholipid syndrome.
Findings
The patient had recurrent thromboembolic events including STEMI and limb ischemia.
Aortic valve thrombosis was caused by isolated aortic valve amyloidosis.
The condition occurred alongside antiphospholipid syndrome.
Abstract
