Abstract
Introduction:TTK Chitra heart valve prosthesis (CHVP) is a tilting disc artificial heartvalve which has an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene disc, Haynes-25 alloycage, and polyester suture ring. Because of itslow cost and proven efficacy, apart from its use in India, the TTK-Chitra valveis also being exported to other countries. Material & Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out between period April 2015 to December 2018 in the department of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, Government General Hospital, Guntur. Results: In the study period, a total of 167 TTK Chitra valves were implanted in the aortic and/ or mitral positions. 80 patients underwent Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR), 19 underwent Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) and 28 underwent Double Valve Replacement DVR. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with MVR was done in 9 patients and CABG with AVR was done in 7 patients.The age of the patients ranged from 18 – 65 years. Majority of the patients (48%) were in the age range 31 – 50 years. There was male preponderance in the study population with 58% being males and rest females. Conclusions: TTK Chitra valve is hemodynamically stable and affordable which performs well in both the Mitral and Aortic valve positions.
