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—Significant prosthetic paravalvular leakage (PVL) could have serious clinical
consequences and impairs survival. Reoperation is associated with a high mortality rate …

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 …

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 …

Background In most centres, clinically significant percutaneous paravalvular leak (PVL)
closure following valve replacement surgery is reserved for those considered high-risk for …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare outcomes of transcatheter intervention (TI)
versus surgical intervention (SI) for paravalvular leak (PVL). Background: Data comparing …

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

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 an uncommon yet serious complication associated with the
implantation of mechanical or bioprosthetic surgical valves and more recently recognized …

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 …
