Percutaneous Closure of a Small Posterior Mitral Paravalvular Leak in a Patient With Coexistent Monoleaflet Mechanical Aortic Valve

Abstract Percutaneous closure of a paravalvular leak is a challenging procedure that often presents with multiple simultaneous hurdles. We report a case of percutaneous retrograde paravalvular leak closure in a patient with a coexistent monoleaflet mechanical aortic valve. The leak was crossed and o...

Description
Summary:Abstract Percutaneous closure of a paravalvular leak is a challenging procedure that often presents with multiple simultaneous hurdles. We report a case of percutaneous retrograde paravalvular leak closure in a patient with a coexistent monoleaflet mechanical aortic valve. The leak was crossed and occluded using a combination of techniques deriving from the coronary and peripheral angioplasty fields.
