Background: Paravalvular leak (PVL) occurs in 5% to 17% of patients following surgical
valve replacement. Percutaneous device closure represents an alternative to repeat surgery …

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is an uncommon yet serious complication associated with the
implantation of mechanical or bioprosthetic surgical valves and more recently recognized …

Background Mitral paravalvular leaks (mPVL) are a recognized complication for patients
with mitral valve prostheses. Although clinically insignificant for many patients, it may pose …

Background We evaluated the incidence of paravalvular leak (PVL) after mitral valve
replacement (MVR) and analyzed factors associated with early and late PVL during more …

Background Transcatheter paravalvular leak closure (TPVLC) offers a viable alternative to
reoperation but optimal technical strategy is still to be defined. We present a prospective …

Introduction: Significant paravalvular leak (PVL) complicates between 6% and 15% of valve
replacements and can result in heart failure and hemolysis. Paravalvular leak can be …

Objective To study the effect of percutaneous paravalvular leak closure on hemolysis.
Background Although transcatheter PVL closure reduces heart failure and mortality in …

Introduction Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a common serious complication associated with
prosthetic valve implantation. Objective The aim of this study was to report our single-center …

Background Interventional closure of paravalvular leaks (PVL) by plug implantation has
emerged as an alternative to surgical correction, which is associated with high mortality …

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is an uncommon complication of prosthetic valve implantation,
which can lead to infective endocarditis, heart failure, and hemolytic anemia. Surgical …
