Abstract

Restriction of movement of the occluder of a single disc prosthetic valve is a serious and potentially fatal complication. We present a case in which the movement of the disc of a Medtronic Hall aortic valve was restricted by a loop of aortotomy closing suture inadvertently passed around the central guide of the valve.
