    Abstract

    The TTK Chitraâ„¢ heart valve (TTKCHV) developed by the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum , and manufactured by TTK Healthcare Limited is used in a large number of centers dealing with rheumatic heart disease (RHD). A number of clinical studies that have been published over the last 25 years clearly show the valve to be as good, if not better, than many of the currently imported mechanical valve models. The introduction of valve replacement surgery in the early 1960s has dramatically improved the outcome of patients with valvular heart disease. Materials and Methods: A 255 patients with implantations from Feb 2021 to Jan 2023 were followed up prospectively consisting of 50 aortic valve replacement (AVR), 87 double valve replacement (DVR), and 113 mitral valve replacement (MVR) patients ,being 96% complete. Results: The results showed that 82.3% for AVR, 60.7% for MVR, and 52.2% for DVR. Freedom from all valve-related mortality at 15 years was 73.8%, 64.8%, and 61.9% for AVR, MVR, and DVR, respectively.
