Percutaneous paravalvular leak closure represents a small but important niche in structural
interventions in the current era of interventional cardiology. It is estimated that paravalvular …

Paravalvular regurgitation affects 5% to 17% of all surgically implanted prosthetic heart
valves. Patients who have paravalvular regurgitation can be asymptomatic or present with …

Paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) is a symptomatic or asymptomatic complication after
surgical valve replacement. It may be related to calcification, infection or tissue friability and …

Percutaneous paravalvular leak closure is increasingly being performed as an alternative to
reoperation in patients with symptomatic prosthetic paravalvular regurgitation. This article …

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

Paravalvular leak affects up to 27% of all prosthetic heart valves implanted by conventional
surgery. Patients with paravalvular regurgitation can be asymptomatic or may present with …

Aims: Paravalvular regurgitation is an important complication of mitral valve replacement.
Although surgical repair is mostly recommended, it is associated with significant morbidity …

Background Interventional closure of paravalvular leaks (PVL) by plug implantation has
emerged as an alternative to surgical correction, which is associated with high mortality …

Abstract Background: Paravalvular leaks (PVLs) are a well‐recognized complication of
prosthetic valve replacement. Most are asymptomatic and benign, but some may cause …

Introduction: Significant paravalvular leak (PVL) complicates between 6% and 15% of valve
replacements and can result in heart failure and hemolysis. Paravalvular leak can be …
