Chitra TTK valves - a triumphant repeat of Bhagiratha Yagna - Prof. M. S. Valiathan

The sixth day of the National Science Week -2022 celebrations at MCNS, MAHE Abstract: Four in number, valves ensure that blood flows only in one direction in the heart. But they are more than mere check valves because they are always immersed in blood and open and close 100,000 times a day without stopping till death. If they are damaged by disease, they need to be replaced by man-made valves which are lifesaving. Until Chitra TTK valves appeared in 1990, valves had to be imported at high cost and they were unaffordable for average patients. The development of the Chitra TTK valve at the Chitra Institute in the 1980s was a triumphant repeat of the Bhageeratha story. It beats in the hearts of 1.8 lakh patients today in India and elsewhere.
