Introduction and objectives Percutaneous closure of paravalvular leakage is an alternative
to surgery in high-risk patients, but its use has been limited by a lack of specific devices …

Introduction and objectives Percutaneous paravalvular leak closure is a complex procedure
with varying success rates; the lack of closure devices specifically designed for this purpose …

Introduction Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a common serious complication associated with
prosthetic valve implantation. Objective The aim of this study was to report our single-center …

Background Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a common complication following valve replacement,
which leads to heart failure and hemolysis. Transcatheter PVL closure has emerged as a …

Objectives To describe the feasibility and safety of the Hopscotch Technique, a novel
method to close paravalvular leaks. Background Successful closure of paravalvular leaks …

Background: Paravalvular leak (PVL) occurs in 5% to 17% of patients following surgical
valve replacement. Percutaneous device closure represents an alternative to repeat surgery …

Objectives: This study sought to describe a method of paravalvular leak closure using a
purpose-specific occlusion device. Background: Transcatheter closure of paravalvular leaks …

Aims: The aim of the study was to assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous closure of
paravalvular prosthetic leak (PVL) and to identify the predictors of procedural success and …

Objectives Paravalvular leaks (PVL) occur in up to 17% of all surgically implanted prosthetic
valves. Re-operation is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Transcatheter closure …

Background: Transcatheter closure of a symptomatic prosthetic paravalvular leak (PVL) is
feasible, but there is presently no conclusive evidence to show consistent efficacy. We …
