Key result
In a 25-year-old male, a large intravalvular regurgitant jet caused by native anterior leaflet tissue interfering with a St. Jude's bileaflet mechanical prosthesis resolved following tissue resection.

Native leaflet preservation may cause prosthetic regurgitation; TEE-guided resection resolves it in this case but leaves open broader applicability.
Case Report (n=1)
Preservation of the native anterior leaflet during mitral valve replacement can cause incomplete mechanical valve closure and regurgitation, which can be diagnosed by TEE and resolved by resection of the interfering tissue.
Donald C. Oxorn (2003) conducted a case report in Severe anterior mitral leaflet prolapse (n=1). Mitral valve replacement with subvalvular preservation and subsequent tissue resection was evaluated on Resolution of intravalvular regurgitant jet. In a 25-year-old male, a large intravalvular regurgitant jet caused by native anterior leaflet tissue interfering with a St. Jude's bileaflet mechanical prosthesis resolved following tissue resection.
