Tricuspid paravalvular leak closure with a paravalvular leak device
A 69-year-old man, with a permanent pacemaker (PM) and a tricuspid bioprosthesis implanted 6 years ago, was admitted due to gradual exacerbation of heart failure symptoms to NYHA class III. Transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography revealed proper function of bioprosthesis leaflets accompanied by the presence of severe paravalvular leak (PVL) with the PM lead crossing its c...
متن کاملPercutaneous Paravalvular Leak Closure.
Symptomatic paravalvular leak (PVL) complicates up to 12 % of surgical valve replacements. When patients present with congestive heart failure and/or haemolysis, reoperation for repeat valve replacement may be undertaken, but presents greater risk and lower likelihood of success than the initial operation. Therefore, percutaneous approaches to PVL closure have been developed by specialists in s...
متن کاملA Quick Guide to Paravalvular Leak Closure.
Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a seldomly covered aspect of structural heart disease. However, this is a condition that frequently presents after valvular replacement. This article will cover the diagnosising and treating PVL (i.e. imaging, access, and device selection). In addition, specific aspects of aortic and mitral PVL closure will be covered in this review.
متن کاملMulti-modality imaging to assess metabolic response to dichloroacetate treatment in tumor models
Reverting glycolytic metabolism is an attractive strategy for cancer therapy as upregulated glycolysis is a hallmark in various cancers. Dichloroacetate (DCA), long used to treat lactic acidosis in various pathologies, has emerged as a promising anti-cancer drug. By inhibiting the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, DCA reactivates the mitochondrial function and decreases the glycolytic flux in tumo...
متن کاملA new device for paravalvular leak closure
Percutaneous closure of a prosthetic paravalvular leak (PVL) is a challenging procedure. Operators must use devices constructed for other applications. We present the use of a device which is specifically designed for PVL closure. To the best of our knowledge, there is no publication in MEDLINE reporting the use of the device.
