Multidisciplinary Teamwork in Management of Dislodged Prosthetic Aortic Valve Leaflet.

Mechanical valve leaflets have the potential to detach and migrate to unintended locations, leading to life- and limb-threatening situations. We report a unique case of a dislodged mechanical aortic valve leaflet in the right iliac artery bifurcation after a redo mitral valve replacement. This was promptly recognized by input from a multidisciplinary team, allowing immediate correction of the aortic valve insufficiency followed by staged retrieval of the dislodged leaflet to avoid vascular complications. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary team in decision-making and timely intervention. Further research is needed for better understanding of risk factors and prevention strategies.
