Paravalvular leak (PVL) is an uncommon complication of prosthetic valve implantation,
which can lead to infective endocarditis, heart failure, and hemolytic anemia. Surgical …

Paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) remains one of the drawbacks of transcatheter aortic valve
implantation (TAVI). Details of percutaneous closure (PCC) of PVR after TAVI remain …

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is an important complication after surgical valve replacement and
might lead to serious clinical results, including heart failure and/or hemolytic anemia. PVLs …

Transcatheter technology has been increasingly used for paravalvular leak closure. We
report the use of “Fusion Technology”(EchoNaviagator, Phillips, Tustin, CA) that combines …

Abstract Purpose of Review With increasing use of prosthetic valves to treat degenerative
valvular heart disease (VHD) in an aging population, the incidence and adverse …

Percutaneous device closure has become a valuable alternative to surgery in the
management of paravalvular leaks. Consequently, imaging in these patients is currently not …

Background Catheter-based closure has emerged as a less invasive alternative to surgery
in high-risk patients with paravalvular leak (PVL) and clinically significant regurgitation with …

Background: Transcatheter paravalvular leak (PVL) closure in recent times has emerged as
a safe and effective alternate to redo-surgical repair. We sought to examine the clinical …

OBJECTIVES We aimed to analyse the pathology of paravalvular leak (PVL), and determine
the long-term outcomes of redo mitral valve replacement and risk factors of all-cause …

Mitral valvulopathy presents as regurgitation, stenosis, or mixed disease and can occur in
both native and prosthetic valves. Such disease develops in conjunction with …
