Paravalvular prosthetic regurgitation is common, affecting 5–10% of surgical prostheses and
40–70% of transcatheter valves. While many patients may suffer no significant morbidity …

Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography has been conceived as one of the most
promising methods for the diagnosis of valvular heart disease, and recently has become an …

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

Catheter-based treatment of valvular heart disease, such as transvalvular aortic valve
replacement (TAVR) or mitral clip procedure, has been increasingly accepted as a treatment …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography is one of the most promising methods
for the diagnosis of cardiac disease. Left and right ventricular size and function are currently …

To appreciate the mechanistic role of current percutaneous therapies, it is important to
understand the anatomic and functional properties of the mitral valve apparatus. The mitral …

PARAVALVULAR LEAKS after valve replacement are not uncommon. The incidence of
postoperative mitral valve paravalvular regurgitation is reported to be between 2% and 17 …
