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

Paravalvular leak (PVL) occurs after both surgical and transcatheter valve replacement/
implantation. It can lead to haemolysis, heart failure and may increase the risk of …

Purpose of review As the number of surgical and transcatheter valve replacements continue
to increase in the aging population, so does the incidence of paravalvular leak (PVL). Given …

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a complication that occurs in 5–17% of patients after surgical
prosthetic valve implantation. Whereas PVLs can be benign, some PVLs are associated with …

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a serious complication after surgical valve replacement or after
transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Approximately 1–5% of PVLs can lead to serious …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the
percutaneous device closure of a consecutive series of patients with periprosthetic …

Background Percutaneous closure of paravalvular leak (PVL) has emerged as an alternative
treatment. Predictors of survival and procedural success are unknown. Objectives To review …

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 …

Percutaneous paravalvular leak (PVL) closure has emerged as a feasible alternative to redo
valve surgery. However, comparative data on percutaneous and surgical treatment of PVL …

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