Transapical closure of mitral prosthetic paravalvular leak.
Clinically significant mitral prosthetic paravalvular leaks may occur in up to 5% of patients following surgical mitral valve replacement. Successful closure may offer relief from symptoms of heart failure and hemolysis, but surgical closure is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Alternative transcatheter closure techniques are being developed. We present a patient who was succes...
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 کاملReal-time three-dimensional TEE-guided repair of a paravalvular leak after mitral valve replacement.
Paravalvular leaks are well-known complications seen following cardiac valve surgery. We report a case in which real-time three-dimensional TEE (3D-TEE) was utilized intraoperatively to identify the number, severity, and precise locations of a paravalvular leak at the time of surgery for mitral valve replacement.
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of paravalvular mitral regurgitation with Vascular Plug III under the guidance of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
Transcatheter closure of mitral prosthetic paravalvular leak (PVL) has been hampered by technical challenges and the lack of closure devices specifically designed for this purpose. The oblong cross-sectional shape of the Amplatzer Vascular Plug III device (AVP) may be a more appropriate choice to be deployed for mitral PVL's. Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT-3D T...
متن کاملTransapical transcatheter device closure of relapse left ventricular diverticulum: a novel minimally invasive technique for reoperation
We describe a novel minimally invasive technique, transapical transcatheter device closure of relapse left ventricular diverticulum (LVD) under transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance. The patient previously underwent LVD primary repair and mitral valvular replacement. The anatomical characteristics of the relapse LVD and its adjacent structures are detailedly delineated by echocardiogr...
