Abstract
After mitral valve replacement with a prosthetic valve, the valve should be competent and there should not be
any residual prosthetic valve regurgitation. Transvalvular residual prosthetic valve regurgitation are difficult
to diagnose and quantify. we are reporting interesting TEE images as a diagnostic dilemma in a case of
transvalvular mitral regurgitation following mitral valve replacement secondary to entrapment of sub-valvular
apparatus in a Chitra mechanical heart valve.
