Mechanical heart valves are the preferred choice for younger individuals when the native valves cannot undergo repair, primarily due to their exceptional durability. It is crucial to meticulously manage the international normalized ratio (INR) within the range of 2.5 to 3.5 to ensure optimal valve function and minimise the risk of thromboembolic complications. Our case report serves to demonstrate the effectiveness of percutaneous balloon dilatation through transcatheter methods as an innovative and promising approach to release a stuck valve, representing a noteworthy addition to the spectrum of treatment options.
