Abstract

Paravalvular leak (PVL) remains an important complication of surgically placed prosthetic valves. Treatment options historically have been limited to redo surgery, which is associated with a relatively high mortality and the need for repeat surgeries. Percutaneous techniques offer a less invasive yet highly successful alternative to surgery. We describe incidence, clinical presentation, and percutaneous approaches to repair of paravalvular leak with an Amplatzer device.
