Mechanical prosthetic value regurgitation may be either perioprosthetic or intraprosthetic. The latter is usually mild, occurring in the majority of normally functioning valves and is due to the 'regurgitant flow' closing the valve. An unusual case is reported of intermittent intraprosthetic regurgitation through a normally functioning aortic Medtronic-Hall prosthesis caused by tissue ingrowth below the valve 4 years after implantation.
