Abstrakt: Structural failure of mechanical heart valve was a known feature when it was evolving in the 1960s and 1970s. With the advent of pyrolytic carbon and a better design, it is a rare entity with present valves. We report a case of disc fracture leading to acute mitral regurgitation in TTK Chitra heart valve prosthesis (CHVP) (TTK Healthcare Limited, India) heart valve, 6 years after its implantation in mitral position.
