The St. Jude Medical (SJM) prosthetic cardiac valve is a low-profile, bileaflet mechanical valve with an excellent record of durability and a low overall complication rate.1-3 Mechanical failure is a rare occurrence with this valve.4 We report a case of mechanical failure of a SJM prosthesis due to leaflet fracture with subsequent embolization. © 1991.
