This case study explores the complications associated with a non-opening leaflet in a mitral bileaflet mechanical valve (SB-72). The patient presented with symptoms indicative of valve malfunction, leading to echocardiographic evaluation. The findings revealed a restricted leaflet, prompting further investigation into the underlying causes. This report sheds light on the critical importance of regular monitoring and timely intervention for patients with mechanical heart valves to prevent adverse outcomes. We also discuss management strategies for similar cases.
