Percutaneous 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 کاملTricuspid 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 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.
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 کاملPercutaneous closure of mitral paravalvular leak.
Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a complication observed in patients after prosthetic valve replacement. The incidence of PVL is estimated as 2-3%. The cause of PVL may be paravalvular infection, suture continuity disruption, damage of tissues around the annulus or limitation of disc mobility by thrombus or vegetation. The preferable method of treatment of PVL is surgery. Recently, percutaneous closu...
