A Case Demonstrating a Percutaneous Closure Using the Amplatzer Duct Occluder for Paravalvular Leakage after Tricuspid Valve Replacement
نویسندگان
چکیده
There has been a dramatic increase in the number and type of procedures performed in the field of cardiac intervention in the past decade. Percutaneous intervention is becoming an increasingly recognized modality for the management of prosthetic paravalvular leakages (PVLs) in severely symptomatic non-surgical candidates. Herein, we report our experience of percutaneous closure using the Amplatzer duct occluder for a PVL in a patient who underwent tricuspid valve replacement.

Paravalvular leaks (PVLs) are a well-recognized complication of prosthetic valve replacement. Perivalvular prosthetic regurgitation causes significant morbidity and is associated with high perioperative mortality if open surgical repair is required. PVLs manifest with symptoms of congestive heart failure, hemolysis, or in most cases, the combination of both. In recent years, the development of ...
متن کاملSurgical repair of tricuspid valve leaflet tear following percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect using Amplatzer duct occluder I: Report of two cases
Tricuspid valve (TV) injury following transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (PMVSD) with Amplatzer ductal occluder I (ADO I), requiring surgical repair, is rare. We report two cases of TV tear involving the anterior and septal leaflets following PMVSD closure using ADO I. In both the patients, the subvalvular apparatus remained unaffected. The patients presented with...
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...
